It notes data was collected from over 375 AE firms between February and April, positioning the survey as a “gold standard” for the industry. The discussion emphasizes moving from gut feel to defensible, data-based decision-making by clarifying how a firm stacks up against others in management and staff roles. It also highlights the ability to use metro adjustment tools to align pay to specific locations.</description></oembed>
