This is great and more salary transparency is important. I'm wondering if these numbers jive with your hunch about the local market? I'm asking because I've noticed that when asking for salary numbers, those who make "decent" wages tend to reply more often and this can lead to sampling bias.

That's a good point about potential bias (those making more are more likely to respond). It's my intuition from living and working in this area for a long time that the responses are pretty representative. The surveyed group (UtahJS slack channel) I think skews more toward the less experienced (which shows in the years of experience chart), so if anything the data may be skewed that direction.

When I wasn't working remote, informally the ceiling seemed to me to be around $120k. That was a few years ago and these days I would have guessed more around $140k. Obviously I didn't have all the data points so good to see people who are at $175k-$200k.
