Questions

How much does Booz Allen Hamilton pay for backend engineering roles?

The median of the 107 posted ranges is $142k a year; the middle half sits between $114k and $142k.

Is this base salary or total compensation?

Why posted ranges and not self-reported salaries?

A posted range is what the employer commits to for a role it has open today. It is fresher than a survey and cannot be inflated by respondents. Each posting counts once, at the midpoint of its range.
