Splitting up a two part question into two polls: https://www.teamblind.com/post/X3RJZs4F
I've heard that generally SWEs will make more early on and then PMs often catch up later on and can surpass but not 100% sure
All things being equal, in 10 years if a person started as a PM or a SWE, theoretically which would get them have a higher TC at that point?

It also just seems harder to break into big tech as a PM. But do what you’re good at and enjoy. They’re such different jobs
