The distribution

One median hides a wide role.

Enterprise Account Executive” covers very different jobs at very different scales under one title. The spread below is real - it is the shape of what employers are posting, not noise in the data.

The mechanism

Every number here, traced.

1

We matched 179 listings to this title in the last 90 days that state an annual base range. Listings without one are excluded entirely.

2

Each listing contributes its pay midpoint - one value, one vote. A wide range doesn’t get extra weight.

3

179 clears the 5-listing threshold, so the median is published. Roles that don’t clear it say so instead of showing a number.

4

Postings age out of the window automatically - nothing is carried forward. See our data commitments.

All 179 midpoints, sorted

Too many listings to print here - the arithmetic below runs over all 179 of them.

179 values, so the median is the 90th - read straight off the list, with nothing interpolated. Every chip is one listing from the last 90 days that you can open below.

Published: $280k median base

Read this before you negotiate

$280k is base. It is not the whole offer.

Variable pay is real money, and it is the part listings describe least consistently. Here is exactly what is inside the number and what isn’t.

Counted

Anything a listing states as guaranteed annual base pay, in USD, for a full-time role.

  • A stated annual base range
  • The base portion split out of an on-target-earnings figure
  • Full-time roles, remote or on-site

Not counted

Some of it is real money and some of it is just unreadable. Either way it stays out of the median rather than inflating it.

  • Commission, bonus, equity and signing bonuses
  • On-target earnings with no base split out
  • Hourly and contract rates - we will not annualize them for you
  • Ranges stated in another currency

Each of those is a rule in the extractor, not a judgement call - a listing that trips one stays unpriced rather than entering the median as a guess.

By location

Where the listings are.

The same rule applies per market: 3 priced listings or no median. 4 markets clear it in this window. Markets that fall short still get a row with their count, so you can see how close they are rather than wonder why yours is missing. This table covers the 76 of 179 priced listings that name a place - the other 103 are remote, nationwide, carry no location line at all, or are written as something we can’t place on a map (a campus or a building name). They still count toward the median above.

Bars are on the same $0k$500k scale as the hero. Striped rows are below the publishing threshold. 8 further markets are not shown - the long tail is mostly single listings in towns of their own. Employers write locations as free text, so every spelling of a city is resolved to one market before it is counted.

The underlying listings

Every number traces back to a job you can open.

These are the actual postings behind the median - the employers running more than one priced req, and the most recent priced listings from the last 90 days. A few may have closed since; they stay listed because the median was computed over them.

Questions

About this number.

Base only. $280k is the median of the annual base ranges stated by 179 Enterprise Account Executive listings ingested in the last 90 days. Bonus, commission, equity and signing bonuses are excluded, because listings describe them inconsistently - including them would make the number bigger and less true.

Real job listings ingested via LandEarly in the last 90 days - not a survey, not a model. Each listing contributes its pay midpoint, the average of the minimum and maximum it states. Listings without a usable annual range are excluded from the maths entirely.

The middle 50% of Enterprise Account Executive salaries - the 25th to 75th percentile - runs from $149k to $318k, based on 179 priced listings. The full published span is $125k at the 10th percentile to $341k at the 90th.

The window is the last 90 days and it rolls forward as we ingest new postings - this page rebuilds every six hours. A listing that ages out of the window drops out of the median; nothing is carried forward or back-filled.

A role needs at least 5 priced listings in the window before we publish a median. Below that we show the listing count instead, and that role's guide says so plainly rather than printing a figure computed from a handful of postings.
