Entry to director

Salary — every posting on the board with a range, September 2026
Salary came last. BC requires a pay range in every posting, and the list pages the scraper reads leave it out. The machine now opens each new LinkedIn posting and reads the range from it, so the table above exists. Postings without a range are mostly Indeed, where the text rarely carries one.
The board updates every morning. This snapshot is September 2026; the numbers above will drift, and the board is where the live version lives.
