PM vs SWE salaries

Nov 7, 2021 7 Comments

How do they compare?

Generally I’ve heard that PM salaries are either in line or slightly less than SWE salaries for comparable levels. I’ve also heard that often PM can move into higher level roles at a company (upper management, VP, C-suite) more commonly than SWEs so that’s why some people will accept a slightly lower salary as a PM than a SWE for a while before they move up, assuming they do move up.

The poll is framed as PM salary is X% different than SWE salary. So -5 is saying that a PM makes roughly 5% less than a SWE
