Short history: fewer than 6 complete months, so this is the change across them, not a yearly rate.

Day rates. No Bid Manager / Consultant advert in Germany, at any experience level, stated a day rate during this period. Why we never annualise one →
How many adverts say what they pay. 5 of the 28 permanent adverts behind the figures on this page state a usable salary (18%, Low data): 0 in a structured field and 5 found only in the advert text. Contract and part-time adverts are not counted here; contract day rates have their own line. AI reads salaries found only in advert text and can misread them. How we read and count salaries →
Estimated posting dates. 4 of the 5 adverts behind the figures above reached us with no posting date on them, so we recorded the day we collected them instead. They count in every window on this page and are left out of the monthly series. How we date an advert →
