Product Analyst doing PO work in ATL
I was hired by a small software dev company in ATL as a Product "Analyst" but I noticed the job description was 100% Product "Owner" (Agile) stuff. I asked in the interview what the difference was and they said "experience". Ok, I can appreciate that. I make $72,500/year now but I want to get promoted to PO within my first 12 months. Glassdoor says the avg. PO salary is $118k/year and the minimum is $83k/year. Anyone have experience with salaries for these types of positions in the ATL/southeast area and can give me some pointers on things to bring up when I go to make my case for am increase in pay? (Other than the obvious things like performance, etc) Thank you in advance!
Looks like they lowballed you a little bit, hopefully you got some equity or RSUs. I’d note accomplishments you’ve had in the last year and the responsibilities that were beyond your initial ones. For comp, I’d counter at 95k and prob settle at 85k and argue this is based on the ATL market
Yea, they are definitely low-balling me but I accepted that when I took the job because I have 0 years of experience in software development management and I've been looking to break into this field (especially Agile) for about a year now. I negotiated to work from home after they gave me the offer so I'm saving a lot of money that way. Thank you for your response and input!
110k is Average..
