Hi,

Does anyone know what an EM salary is at GitHub?
I’ve been thinking about it and not sure if it is worth it to move from IC to EM as far as TC goes.

Current TC: 225k
Yoe: 9

      Declined becoming an EM because it would have been a pay cut from my IC position

      Also the first couple levels of EM are mostly there to eat shit and take blame when the levels above them have ideas that don’t pan out. First level EM is as disposable as first level IC at Amazon.

    Unless you really have aspirations to mentor, stay an IC. Pay is based on levels and comp band and does not factor in if you are a people manager or not.

    If you’re moving within the same grade IE senior IC to senior manager then there is no pay change. It’s totally parallel tracks. They also typically only will let you become a manager if you are a senior IC as they want Senior managers (regardless if you have senior management experience)

    Lateral move within an organization does not generally qualify for a raise.
