How to read the sales & account management pay numbers in Washington, DC

Behind the $128k median are 89 Washington, DC listings that disclosed salary, ranging from $39k up to $700k. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Most listings quote on-target earnings, so the upper end of the band assumes commission is fully paid out. Base salary usually lands well below the median figure.

Treat the median as the realistic number. The high end usually reflects a single senior posting, and local pay in Washington DC tracks the cost of living more than the headline figure suggests. Washington DC pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
