Pay is the same dataset as the salary chart above, roughly the 25th to 75th percentile. The euro figures are what those markets pay, not the US figures converted — converting would roughly double them. These are what the roles pay, not what our courses cost, and pay moves with market, industry and employer far more than with any certificate.
