The Scored Weekly, 9 November: five strong remote roles, three big salaries, and a 'remote' job with anchor days
Five remote roles that state their pay and hiring region, three of the highest stated salaries this week, one listing that says remote in the location line and names three office days in the text, and the figure that when a remote listing states a salary range, the range is usually narrow.
This week the index tracked around 27,000 listings from 13 boards and employer career pages. Below: the roles worth a look, chosen for stated pay, a stated hiring region and freshness, exactly as the employers published them; links checked live before sending.

Remote, but not really
Software Engineer, Growth – Notion carries "(Remote)" in its location line and states, in the posting, "We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days)" in San Francisco. The pay is stated ($272,000–320,000) and so are the days, by name; the location line says something else. Read the body before you assume.
One data observation
When a remote listing states a salary range, the range is usually narrow. Of 443 live remote listings with a stated range on 4 November, the top sat within 20% of the bottom in 31.2% and within 50% in 81.0%; the median range spans 1.28 times its floor, and only 3.2% of ranges have a top more than double the bottom. Ashby-hosted career pages carry most stated ranges and the widest; 4DayWeek listings the tightest. The write-up: When a remote listing states a salary range, the range is usually narrow.
