Dropbox Titles

I noticed that Dropbox has many titles with “Head of...” on their career website. Is this one level below Director or Director with significant people management responsibilities? Non tech here

I’m just a lowly peon, so I’ve not heard of it.

Not positive but isn’t it like a director level but doesn’t manage anyone?

Open level. can be director or non director depending on candidate

Also if non tech expect shitty pay relative to eng and to some extent pm

Means they’re open to hiring at a range of levels for the role. Internally “head of” isn’t a thing.

Thanks guys. Obviously I’m not expecting eng pay. What is the typical range for non tech Director?

I’m the Head of Heads, ama!

Depends. My guess is 200-230 base, 65-75K bonus, 100-150 annual equity

So 350-450 AI

Damn that’s a competitive comp in my opinion. Can someone from Dropbox confirm?

Facebook Isiskendi Mar 22, 2019

Eh . I make 450K as a non Director non tech at Facebook

My understanding is that Directors at Google and Facebook are much more senior? More like VP/SVP equivalent. Everyone else seems to be either managers (or “head of...” at google)
