Understanding the Sydney Market

This role has no August comparison in the data, so there is no trend to read yet. The 126% spread running $70,000 to $186,000 is among the widest in the Sydney data, and with the mid band spanning nearly the same range it is a commission artefact rather than a seniority structure. The median of $92,000 sits just below Sydney's all-roles median, while Melbourne pays $95,000. At 63% salary disclosure the median itself is well evidenced, which makes the extreme ceiling more likely to be genuine on-target earnings.
