I think it's all over the place. PMs that come from a traffic manager background I feel are a little under the average while PMs with a producer background seem to be a bit higher. I think a lot depends on your negotiating skills. Glassdoor is doing a great job gathering salary data so start there for a look at the average in your city.

Level to level, I think account and PM salaries are pretty on-par. Sometimes PM is even a bit higher. (i.e. Account Coordinator vs Jr. PM, Account Executive or SAE vs PM, Account Sup vs Sr. PM, Account Director vs Director of PM, etc.)

SPM, Chicago, $102k

Agree that it's easy to plateau as the path to promotion isn't as defined as account and creative. You can stay a doer or become a manager as a project director or director of ops/delivery, even up to EVP level.

$85K, mid that should have senior title, LA.

Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.
