Top Paying Companies in New York

Discover the highest-paying opportunities. Updated daily with real compensation data from professionals like you.

The compensation figures below reflect median total yearly compensation amounts, including base salaries, stock grants, and bonuses.

It's a difficult task to accurately compare leveling across companies. We aim to make that comparison as easy as possible, using our standard leveling framework. Currently, standard leveling is only available for Software Engineer positions within companies that have leveling structures submitted to our database. Median compensation across all levels is supported for all job roles.

You may see that some level/location combinations yield little to no valid data, but with your help, we can change that. If you would like to help support our mission to help people make better career decisions, we encourage you to contribute via Add Compensation, Add Level Mapping, and Add Benefits.

Disclaimer: Compensation and leveling depend on a variety of factors including interview performance, past experience, competitive offers, etc. The compensation numbers here are for the top paying companies for the selected level and location; it may not reflect compensation for the rest of the market.
