Am I underpaid?
I am a senior product manager and my total take home this year will be $180. Reading through these threads and its difficult to determine a good pay range is. I look at sites like Glassdoor and payscale, the ranges seem wide. If I were to go by numbers on blind I'd say I'm under paid. Is it because I don't work at Google, Facebook, Amazon or Apple? Is it because I work in NYC and not silicon valley? Is it because of my experience. How do I go about increasing my salary?
You're over paid.
If you are in a tech role, move to a tech company. Similarly, finance folks are paid less in tech industry
Years of experience? I make 260k with 3 years of experience in Bay area. You can compare.
It’s a popular feeling to think someone is underpaid. Normally in banking, Your product supports the frontline unless it’s a key customer facing app with an important user experience. If it’s a retail consumer facing app, you are underpaid, if not - it depends on the domain and the market availability of expertise in the domain!
$180? That’s like 20 visits to chipotle
Solid base.
Those crazy salaries are only at FAANG + unicorns, and even them may be in the Bay Area too.
Please stop writing FANG with two A's.
I tried to write FANG without N once. Blind didn't let me. Why I can't say F A G but can say motherfucking cunt is beyond me.
Sr Product Manager of what at Citibank? It's hard to compare anything without some more details. The Citibank mobile app? Also, do you have a tech education, Masters in CS, or MBA, etc? You can't compare your comp to FANG companies' comps unless you can pass their L33TCode interviews. Wanna increase your salary? Pass the L33tcode interviews and move to one of the FANGs in the Bay Area. However, you might feel poor even if you make 300k TC here lol.
Fbook, Amazon/Apple, Netflix, Google. You can also throw in Unicorn startups like Uber, Lyft, etc. Interviews at these companies consist of programming challenges that gauge your critical thinking, communication skills, and coding ability. Leetcode is a website/paid service that tests your coding abilities. If this all sounds foreign to you, then don't compare your salary to the ones you see on Blind.
Thanks for the explanations. My background is not in tech, never worked in silicon Valley , I've worked at large corporations but never for a true tech company. My questions may seem ignorant but I am just trying to figure out my weaknesses in the market so that I can address them. Any thoughts on how to do so?
Yes you are
What would you say its a reasonable range?
