Currently a Product Manager at Cornerstone OnDemand in Los Angeles Base Salary $110K with opp for 10% bonus 3 YOE Thinking about options to increase my comp and want to understand how much more upside there is in LA for PM roles with my level of experience. Any info appreciated!
Move up north
We pay the same everywhere in California, so yes really low. But company probably also matters
Low but not horrible, although the pay puts you more at associate PM rather than just PM 1 level. If you're willing to relocate I think you can do better, or if you went to a bigger company the same role would definitely net 20-30k more on the lowest side.
Go next door to TrueCar for a raise
Hard to say. What have you accomplished over the 3 yrs?
CSOD also provides RSUs, which can be considered cash at the time of vesting. What does your stock package look like? E.g. $110k base + $11k bonus + $20k RSUs = $141k total comp and that's not bad at all for a 3yoe PM in LA. In the Bay Area your total comp would be more like $170k.
RSU not liquid
I mean from an average american perspective, no. From a tech perspective, Los Angeles pays really poorly for tech talent so yea 110 is low in most places for a PM, but I think it's almost on par for tech salaries in LA.
Not *all* tech talent is poorly paid in LA
