What is the median salary for a Marketing Manager?

What is the difference between base pay and total compensation?

Base pay is your fixed annual salary. Total compensation adds bonus, commission, and equity on top. For a Marketing Manager we add bonus and equity wherever marketers shared them. Job ads usually list base pay only, so treat the figures as close to base pay.
