Hello guys,
What are the salary ranges for smts or lmts in comparison with engineering manager . Does it make sense to switch to engineering manager from lmts or pmts? Talking purely in terms of comp..
LMTS to Engineering Manager is a demotion in terms of comp. LMTS to Senior Manager is the right comparison but not many would get that directly. Purely in terms of comp, I would say stay on Technical track and move around to solve interesting challenges or problems that might have a bigger impact which might help you in getting stock refreshes. Stock refresh is the major difference in comp between Technical and management track. Salary wise sometimes technical people make more.
