Where this comes from. Every figure is taken from Vast's own job board and recorded each day. When a range changes, we keep both the old number and the new one — which is how you can see pay moving rather than just where it stands today. Figures above cover annual salaries only; 7 further roles are quoted at an hourly or monthly rate are excluded so they don't distort the ranges.
