Questions

How much does Booz Allen Hamilton pay for security roles?

The median of the 183 posted ranges is $142k a year; the middle half sits between $102k and $162k.

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.

Which level pays most?

Lead roles have the highest median here: $162k a year across 11 postings.
