How this number is calculated
The median of the midpoint of advertised salary ranges on US QA Engineer / SDET openings at big-tech companies (FAANG and peers), annualized to a yearly USD figure. The sample is every such role open in the last 45 days and still live, refreshed daily — so it reflects what employers are offering right now, not survey self-reports. We drop postings with no salary, non-USD pay, or figures outside a sane band, and only publish a role once it has at least 10 data points.
