Questions people actually ask

What does perplexity publish as an annual salary?

Across 110 postings that state a pay range, the median midpoint is $245,000. The middle 50% sits between $195,000 and $312,500, and the 90th percentile is $312,500. All figures are annualised and converted to USD.

How many perplexity postings actually publish pay?

110 of the postings we read from ashby carried a range on the day we measured (2026-10-24). The rest did not publish pay at all, so they are not in these numbers.

Which roles at perplexity publish the highest salaries?

engineering is the largest family in this sample (32 postings, median $312,500). The table above lists every family we saw and the highest individual ranges.

Is this what perplexity actually pays?

No. This is what the company itself published in its job postings, normalised to a yearly USD range. Real offers vary by level, location and equity, and many postings omit pay entirely.
