AffCareer
Research & Methodology
AffCareer separates durable professional principles from claims that can change. The required evidence depends on the topic.
Source hierarchy
For platform rules we use the platform’s current help center. For law and regulation we use official authorities. For market or salary data we identify the sample, geography, date, collection method and whether information is employer-reported, self-reported or independently measured.
Compensation data
A salary number is not portable across countries, currencies, tax status and bonus formulas. We do not present unsupported ranges as market truth. Illustrative formulas are labelled as examples and kept separate from verified observations.
Search research
Keyword research combines search suggestions, result-page language, trends and professional terminology. Exact volumes are reported only when a named tool and dated export are available; otherwise demand is qualitative. Similar queries with the same intent are consolidated into one useful page.
Review cadence
Time-sensitive platform and policy guides are checked more often than evergreen career frameworks. Readers should use the visible publication and update dates and follow linked official sources for the latest enforceable rule.
