Glassdoor February 2026 data reaffirms Goldman Sachs pay distribution

Glassdoor’s public salary page for Goldman Sachs captured in late February 2026 reported a narrow, clearly defined pay band for the firm’s Data category while the overall page continued to collect broad employee reports. The snapshot recorded “The typical pay range is between $71,869 (25th percentile) and $121,376 (75th percentile) annually,” and that figure was explicitly labeled: “This is based on 16 salaries submitted by Goldman Sachs Data.”

At the page level the site continued to display its larger-scale framing: “Glassdoor’s public salary page for Goldman Sachs shows thousands of employee‑reported salary entries and a rolling summary of pay ranges across roles.” The Glassdoor snapshot as of late February 2026 (the page and its timestamp reflect February data) and the page copy tied the percentile figures to that February view, but did not attach a precise timestamp or permalink in the captured material.

The percentile numbers are concrete: 25th percentile: $71,869 annually; 75th percentile: $121,376 annually. Those values apply to the 16 salary submissions attributed to “Goldman Sachs Data.” The source material does not break those 16 entries down by job title, level, city, or compensation components, nor does it provide median, mean, minimum, or maximum values for that sample.

That juxtaposition creates a practical limit on interpretation. The Glassdoor page in aggregate contains “thousands of employee‑reported salary entries,” while the specific 25th/75th percentile band cited is calculated from only 16 submissions in the Goldman Sachs Data category. The page copy does not state that those 16 submissions are representative of the thousands of entries across the firm, and the snapshot does not specify whether the $71,869 and $121,376 figures include bonuses, equity, or are base pay only.

Before treating the February snapshot as a firmwide benchmark, a handful of verification items remain open. Key items to confirm include the exact page timestamp and permalink for the late February 2026 snapshot; the numeric total behind “thousands of employee‑reported salary entries”; which Glassdoor filter or category produced the 16-salary sample labeled “Goldman Sachs Data”; the submission dates and geographies for those 16 entries; and whether Glassdoor’s “annually” amounts reflect base salary or total cash compensation.

For colleagues watching internal and external pay signals, the Glassdoor snapshot reaffirmed a pay distribution for the Goldman Sachs Data category in February 2026, but its narrow sample and missing components mean it is a limited window rather than a definitive firmwide salary map.
