I applied for a non-tech PgM role and was contacted by a recruiter who emailed me a list of questions to respond to, including my TC expectations with a single number or range, and said I need to provide a number to proceed. This seems odd to me, but from some of the things I've read it doesn't really surprise me that much. I would rather have this asked to me verbally instead of as a condition of continuing my application process.
From what I've read, it sounds like the range for a role like this is probably $175k-220k. I have 9 years of work experience as an engineer in manufacturing and operations and am wrapping up an MBA, so I think it's safe to aim for the higher end of this range. I'm thinking about saying my TC range is something like $180k-250k to push the conversation towards the higher end of the range, even though it sounds like I'm likely to get pushed back down towards the middle of that range. Is that reasonable, or am I looking at this wrong?

Top of range for experienced, technical L6 product managers at Amazon is >$350k. Program management is probably similar, if I had to guess. May depend on whether it’s an AWS or non-AWS role.
TPgM band is generally a bit lower than PMT band and I would say 20% less. With non tech it 20-25% less depends on the org.
Even for non-technical, I’d be surprised if it doesn’t go to at least $250k. At the very least you should share a range that is wide, and say that your decision is going to be based on a variety of factors as you evaluate multiple opportunities.
