Where and how it’s published
| United States | $180k – $230k | 35 |
- 96% of its 25 open US jobs publish a range (several US states require one).
- 0% of its 2 open jobs outside the US do.
- A typical range’s top is 1.2× its bottom. That’s fairly narrow, so the range is a good guide to an offer.

Questions about pay at Attentive
How much does Attentive pay?
Across 35 pay ranges in its job posts over the last year, Attentive’s median published range is $180k – $230k (United States). Pay varies by role and level; see the tables above.
Where does this data come from?
Only from pay ranges Attentive publishes in its own job posts, read hourly from its hiring system and kept for 12 months after a job closes. No surveys or self-reported salaries.
Does it include equity, bonus or commission?
Usually not. Published ranges are mostly base salary. Sales roles often add commission, and many companies add equity, so total pay is higher. Self-reported sites show total compensation, which is why their figures differ.
Why don’t all jobs show a salary?
Pay-transparency laws require ranges in job posts in US states such as California, New York, Colorado and Washington, but not in most other countries yet, so coverage outside the US is lower.
