Average Salary for APM

Associate Product Manager

I am interviewing for APM Roles. Do you guys have any idea of salary range of APM's in Blinkit and similar tech startups?

APM Salary at Blinkit

Analyst

I am currently working as an APM at a start up (Series B) with 4 YOE (2.5 years into product) and Masters level qualification (not MBA). 

My current CTC is 14.65 (13.65 + 1). Don’t think it’s fair as per market standards. Any comments?

Salary Check

Is 14.5L base good enough for an APM role with 1 YOE? The organisation has funding of $200M.

APM salary

Hi guys, I have a year of experience as an APM, however, I feel my actual pay is way too low. Wanted to know what's the base salary an APM receives in the Fintech space.

Starting salary of an APM.

I'm currently working as a Product Analyst with a CTC of 30 and base pay 17. I'm interviewing for APM roles and was wondering what I can quote as my expectation given my YOE is 0.5 years.

Apm pay range

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.

Longevity of a product career

Will commend you on a very well written and well articulated post. 
  
 Options for the future will be apparent at ~40.  Most peak roles will be achieved between 45-50. 
  
 Possible exits: 
  
 1. Running Category roles at companies which have a broad canvas, multiple product categories. 
 2. Deputing for and eventually running a P&L or a LoB. 
 3. Sales or more critically Customer Success.  Don't shy away from revenue responsibilities. 
  
 Engineering is a sharp left turn imo.  It's not an overlapping skillset at best and don't see how that is part of a PMs likely roadmap.

Engineering Manager

I have been working as an APM at a series C startup for the last 1 year. I did my MBA from a tier 1 college. Worked as a full stack developer for 2 years before that.

Am I underpaid? What would be a fair market compensation.

Should I try getting another PM job in a different company  or switch back to being a dev. ( Not liking PM that much, the dev role was a better experience.)

CTC check: 10LPA - APM - 1 YOE

This is a 33% increase - total 2 yoe, including 1 yoe as APM. HR rolled out 23 + 1 (JB) to consider startup ESOPS, but changed back to 22LPA because did not get degree from premier tech institute. Thoughts?

APM offer @ Airtel Payments: 22LPA

I have an offer from a firm where they have mentioned that their current apm has a payscale of 8-9.

Isn't that a bit too low?

I saw a report by the product folks group where they collected 550 data points & found the avg salary to be around 16. Now, that is pretty high & im not sure whether they've collected the data from only big tech startups.

My previous was 11(10+1) & i initially mentioned 13-14 which i dont think they'll agree on. Should i ask for 12 fixed & let them decide the rest?

Kindly help.

Business Analyst

Hey all, I've recently recieved a couple of offers in the product management space and would be grateful if y'all could help me weigh in the pros and cons.

Context: I'm a Tier-1 engineering grad with <1 yoe.

1. Product analyst at an insanely profitable, bootstrapped startup in the gaming space (industry of preference). The product and strategy are best in class and would be a great learning experience. I would be working in the team associated with their primary cash cow business unit. However, I've heard that the working hours are slightly long and wlb would take a hit. Also, my pay would be quite high and if I were to make a switch for an APM role, there would be very few options that would give a hike over this given my YOE.

2. Associate Product Manager at Flobiz, a Fintech pivoting to be a neobank for SMEs. This was my first offer and on informing the HR that I would be taking up the other offer, the co-founder who had taken my final interview has requested me for a chat. The work culture seems great with a strong alumni network currently in the firm. They are ready to match the pay as well but ESOPs would probably not be liquidated any time soon. The brand name is inferior as well, compared to the other firm.

Great company vs Great culture

For someone with 2 years of APM experience building multiple 0 to 1 products and running independently, what is the salary(base + stocks + bonus)one can expect in PM1 role.
