Why is Tabu's number lower than others'?

You'll see higher numbers elsewhere. They're not more accurate - just unfiltered.

Aggregators pull salaries from job ads and unverified individual submissions, so outliers inflate the average. Tabu cuts values beyond ±3 standard deviations, combines real employee entries and calculates the median (resistant to outliers), not the average. A smaller number, closer to reality.
