Where these numbers come from
We aggregate publicly reported salaries from established compensation platforms and official statistics, then round to representative bands by experience.
For each role and region we collect the current average and 25th–75th percentile pay from the sources above, then set entry, mid and senior bands to the low-to-high range most of those figures fall within.
India is annual CTC in ₹ lakhs (LPA). US and Canada are annual base pay plus typical bonus, in local currency. Senior figures exclude stock/RSUs, which can add a lot at product and AI roles.
AI Business Analyst, AI Product Manager and AI Designer bands reflect a premium over the equivalent non-AI role. These titles are still stabilising, so ranges are wider.
