Notes
Ownership reported by New York Magazine, TIME and later press; Surge has not publicly confirmed the relationship. No discrete per-role listings are published - every domain page (e.g. /coding, /finance) and its "Apply as a ... expert" CTA route to one generic worker_signup funnel, not a scrapable posting. Domain pages do advertise starting rates, checked 2026-08-10: coding $50-$100+/hr, finance/law/accounting $50-60+/hr, math/physics/chemistry/biology $40-100+/hr, generalist $25-30+/hr, medicine $50+/hr. These are recruiting copy, not verified per-listing pay, so they're recorded here for provider-profile context only and are not fed into the pay-index.
