Anyone know what TC an early-career Product Manager should expect in a high COL area (Boston)? Bonus points for Mastercard-specific info!
I would really appreciate the help!

  • At Faang or similar you’re looking at anywhere from $135-185k. Some companies have true entry level PM1 roles. Amazon and a few others generally don’t start PMs until L5.

      Ahh, that is definitely good to know. Did you interview recently? I'll look elsewhere as well. Thank you!

    APM is 70-100, PM is 90-135ish for early career. Can get much higher even in the entry PM band with more experience. Not faang, not bottom of the barrel either. Expect a bit more at public companies thanks to stock, but the grants don't get big till senior PM.

    No idea about mastercard specifically.

    PayPal's take on the Boston area is fairly incorrect IMO. Plenty of high salary roles in PM here.

      Thanks for the info! Those ranges will help me negotiate better. I am probably going to be in the APM band but should ask for upper end of that range.
      Any good companies you'd recommend checking out in BOS that take in APMs?

      That's tough. No where top of mind. A lot of companies have the role, but most of what I've seen is APMs tend to be internal transfers (not exclusively but a very large majority).

      Thanks, can I ask what area this is in? 100k does seem decent early career.

      This seems really low for an expensive area. Is this based off of salaries for PMs somewhere?

      Boston doesn't pay great. Especially if not faang or biotech
