I’m currently working on my PhD in Human Factors and am lucky to be involved with a research lab that trains students to be UX researchers by working with companies (i.e., Honeywell, Dell, Google). Many of my peers end up in the Bay Area working as Senior User Experience Researchers a few years after graduation. What kind of pay could I expect with 5 YOE as a Senior User Experience Researcher in the Bay Area? 10 YOE as a Senior UX researcher in the Bay Area? Also, what’s the job title progression of a UX researcher (I.e., Senior, director)?
If you’re good you make as much as product and design. If you start managing, you can get up to vp, svp within 10-15 years
If mediocre?
Wow! Thanks.
UXPA conducts an annual report on UX researchers salaries, which includes EOY. Mid-level UX researchers at big tech companies tend to earn around the $145k mark for the non-SF Bay Area for base salary (as of 2018-2019). 10+ years as an IC UX Researcher? I don’t know.
