- Which companies. Only startups in the Story Recruitment Australian Startup Funding Database. Industry and stage come from there: stage is the last round the company announced before the figure was published.
- Two kinds of figure. 57 are salary bands employers put in their own job ads. 199 are salaries a public page reports for that role at that company (Glassdoor, SEEK, Indeed, the company's own careers page and others), found by searching each role and company pair.
- Exact or near. "Exact" means the source names the same role at the same company. "Near" means a related finance role at the same company (a Senior Financial Analyst figure on an FP&A search, say). Market-wide averages and figures for other companies are left out.
- Small cells. A median shows only when 3 or more separate source pages back it. Below that the row is greyed and marked "Too few sources"; the figures are still listed so you can read them yourself.
- Not converted. Australian dollars only. Base salary as the source states it; super, bonus and equity are not added. Day, hourly and monthly rates are listed but never annualised or counted in a median.
- Counted once. 115 figures appeared both as a job ad and as a reported salary and were merged.
