How much is this realistic

Woah, came across this salary report for Product Managers - https://www.upraised.co/product-manager-salary-insights Are PMs really earning this high? Interested to know from other PMs here if they align with what's written in the report. It's super detailed, made me feel very confident about my PM career 😛💰

How to negotiate your salary when the recruiter asks what is expected? Let's say your current pay is 28(25 fixed and 3 variable). What is the maximum that you could ask and they could offer? Any tips and suggestions on asking better offer? Recently I came across a post that says PMs earn in the bracket of 35 to 50lpa.

Post CTC, YOE, Role (mine is 45 LPA, 4 YOE, PM)

I have a overall experience of 6 years and recently moved into the product role in AI tech. I am being offered a CTC of 35 LPA. How is this as per the market? My research on Glassdoor and other sites gave me a big range, so I am quite perplexed about the asking number. I am planning to move out soon to another company, so help me community- how much are you making?

What is the pay like for 7–9 yoe product managers like? Looking to understand the pay range and the work load. Have been working in startups for close to 6 years and want to move to a more relaxed setup. If there’s a post around this already, please help in directing me.

I have 4 YOE as sde (react/vue) and trying to get product management roles. I'm at 15LPA currently. What should I expect if i (hopefully) get a pm/APM job?

got pm role at zepto 5 yrs exp how much should I ask?

Sharing some reflections on this: 1. Product is not a function with a large hierarchy / multiple levels in the ladder. Managerial responsibility comes in very late in the product career and the spans are typically small (relative to other functions like engineering, sales, operations). This also means a steeper funnel to the top and only a handful VP Product roles in the industry. 2. Product is centered around technology and digital consumer trends, both of which are fast changing. This requires constant unlearning and relearning. But more critically, this also means that previous knowledge/experience hits a plateau on marginal value beyond a basic threshold (where you have developed some essential product semse and skills). 3. Product managers are also much higher-paid vs other functional peers, at comparable years of experience. This means that a PM gets to a very high salary (say, 1+ crore) by the age of 40 (15-20y into their career). Tech functions in non-tech companies (like FMCG, banking) cannot offer that kind of pay, meaning salary growth beyond a point is limited to tech-first companies / limiting addressable market for lateral moves. All of these considererd, how should PMs think about the longevity of their careers? Unlike traditional roles, this does not seem like a "retire at 60" job. What would be the realistic age one should plan for, at which career growth and salary growth will stagnate? What are ways in which a 80%ile PM can extend their career (eg: also taking up engineering management or P&L responsibility or growth function etc., to increase scope)? PS: this post is not for the top 5-10% PMs. They will always find roles at VP level etc, this is for the 50-90%ile bucket of PM talent.
