What Kubernetes jobs pay
Posted pay ranges only, and most jobs do not state one. Skills cluster in particular kinds of job, so part of any gap is the job and not the skill. This compares postings; it does not say that learning a skill raises your pay.
The median posted yearly pay (the middle of each range) is $205k across 2,391 jobs that name Kubernetes and state a range. For all jobs that name a skill it is $165k, so Kubernetes jobs post 24% more.
