Can you rate these roles as per pay, for the same level?
I understand pay differs by company but want to get a general idea since I am trying to decide what role to move towards and what kind of projects to take up in the near future. MLE, SWE, DS core ML, DS analytics, product manager, program manager Any other roles that may competitive?
"Product manager" and "program manager" are underspecified. Depends on the level and business unit(s). MLE will be an equivalent pay band to SWE at most large companies, but may often receive a 5 - 10% TC premium for scarcity. DS core ML is PhD research, and will be higher pay band than SWE. DS analytics will be a lower pay band than SWE for the same level.
Thank you. underspecified? For the same level, how does the pay compare to other roles?
Well program manager will be lower pay band than product manager. Both will earn less than technical ICs at the same level but are likely to be more quickly promoted (especially at higher levels). It's easier to demonstrate impact.
