Option C sounds like it's describing a unicorn job. Who wants to work on something that's considered an 'outlier' for market pricing? I'll take a nice, normal benchmark job any day.

Haha, Option D would be great if you want to describe the CEO's job. Only 25% of the workforce? I wish!

I'm not sure about that. Isn't a benchmark job supposed to be one that's paid at the midpoint of the salary range? Option A sounds like the best answer to me.

I'm not sure about that, I always thought it was a job that is considered an outlier for market pricing.

But isn't it also a job that is easily defined and found in other organizations?

Option B seems like the most accurate description of a benchmark job. It's a job that is commonly found across organizations, making it a good reference point for market pricing.
