What postings asking for it pay
Across every role, for the postings that both name this skill and disclose a salary. A skill does not cause a salary — senior roles ask for more of everything — so read this as association, not as a raise.
Not enough disclosed salaries to publish a band — only 26 of these postings state one. We would rather show nothing than a median built on a handful of rows.
