Compensation Range
To support the ability to reward for merit-based performance, CGI typically does not hire individuals at or near the top of the range for their role. Compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case.
A reasonable estimate of the current range for this role in the U.S. is $80,600.00 - $172,400.00.
