Demand Generation vs Social Media: which pays more?
The median for Demand Generation is $132,289 per year (typically $104,625–$158,125), versus $83,200 for Social Media ($60,095–$105,000). That puts Demand Generation about 59% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Demand Generation and Social Media are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
