Met a buddy whose LinkedIn profile says "product lead at Uber". Says he gets a 400k base. Assume that he is not a director. Is that what one should expect? So I assume total comp would be 800k. That's amazing, but also a little suspect. How much should one expect at a senior product manager role or even director role at Uber. Am currently looking and currently negotiating with Google at L7 - 230 base and 600k stock, so 150 a year.
Mmm 150k per year RSU for L7 product is BS. Don’t believe you
? Too little or too much?
Too little
Too little or too much.. Belief? Jokes aside looks to low to be believable
What looks low? My offer or my buddy's offer. How much do you all make. It's crazy. I was working at a smallish startup and was making 190 base and stock that is probably worthless. Honestly the whole startup seems to be a farce if you are not a founder (most startups at least)
Why do you say that OP? as in the upside is a farce?
Yours Agreed. Money from startups is v hard
Well it's what I got.
Title embellishment is an endemic problem at Uber. I've seen L4 PMs label themselves as a "Product Lead" and EM1's take the title of "Engineering Leader".
But the pay! Seems like pay is almost 1.5x of FAANG. I understand taking a risk since it's still early days but 400k base seems crazy. Speaking of which when will Uber start hiring again?
Yeah no way that is base. Maybe total comp.
800k TC sounds improbable except if your buddy is a Sr. Manager (L6) being paid on the high end of the comp band. Uber's recently started hiring again. Might want to check the careers site.
400k base is like sr Dir or vp
400 k base is fake. Not even true for director
Also he’s definitely not a director if he’s putting product lead. Directors will out director in title. Product lead is likely GPM or SPM 2
400k base isn’t achievable as a GPM at Uber
L7 for PM at google? For bay area, the RSU is low, maybe even outside the band.
Interesting, tell me more. What should I expect? The recruiter said she went to bat for me to get me that number
