About the Study

For the 2024 Bay Area Compensation Study & Industry Report, the DeWinter Group partnered with the Economic Research Institute (ERI) for all salary data cited in the report, unless otherwise noted. ERI is a leader in the collection, and analysis of compensation, occupation, and cost-of-living data. All data are employer-provided and come from a variety of sources. Survey data are collected through internally conducted salary surveys and the purchase of salary surveys from survey vendors. Additional data are gathered through the digitization of Proxy and 10-K data and Freedom of Information Requests in the US. Compensation data are compiled in terms of mean and median salaries for jobs of similar duties, responsibilities, skills, and functions through an extensive job-matching process. The salary data and analysis featured in the 2024 Bay Area Compensation Study & Industry Report is based on organizations with $100,000,000 in revenue; “Level 3” salary data is included for all job titles. Level 3 employees require greater knowledge, training and/or experience; some organizations refer to level three as the senior level. The salary planning date of 1/1/2022 was selected and data was trended forwards through time series analysis.
