I am new to the platform and I see a lot of good contact here. I look forward to the feedback on this post. I am over a decade into my career in several industries. Public sector, military, and private tech sector.
After looking through some of the posts here I see that a lot of professionals are securing really great compensation packages with a decent amount of years in.
My trouble here is after spending the time that I have with 12 years of experience, I feel as if I may be able to demand a much higher compensation package than I currently receive.
I live in Northern Virginia and I work in the public sector. I am open to changing industries, sectors and locations if it is the most logical decision.

Any advice here? I’ve created my profile for Talent by Blind. Open to changing careers to find a company that values my experience and skillset. #tech #advice #compensation #careerchange

You might get more responses for those type of salaries with more description on ‘product owner’
You can probably guess from the level of responsibility you've had what you could get. Some people at 12 YOE are VP equivalents and could get that in tech. Others may be counted as just experienced hires, one or two levels above new grads. At top companies, both are paid well, but the difference could be between 250-300k vs 500-600k. And there's also the question on whether you could get into those top companies at all, or even if you could, whether you might make more going into a lower tier company at a higher level.
Tl;Dr, YOE alone really doesn't tell us much, even if you tell us what field it's in. But at the minimum, if you can get into a top company, you can make at least double your comp.
