Do comp bands at your company differ wildly between Tech and non-Tech departments?

Hulu has known leveling and comp discrepancies that create big internal equity problems between technology teams and other teams. This seems like a vestige of being borne from the trad media industry. Do other tech-focused companies (FAANG, etc) have this same disconnect? We are talking orders of magnitude difference.

PM is part of engineering...

Is this a normal compensation path? Why does sales get so much? Wouldn’t their comp be based on commission?

Yes. 50% in terms of equity between eng and non-eng.

Yes, almost all companies have differences like these. Not orders of magnitude, but pretty substantial

"Orders of magnitude difference"? Eng gets paid 100x non-eng?

Yes, you get paid for your occupation, not for what company you're at. Would you expect doctors to make the same salary as nurses in their office? Or chemical engineers and factory workers to make the same at a company? At Vistaprint non-engineers can be as much as 50% less than engineers.
