Anyone else feel like their actual work is very disconnected from their paycheck? If I do a great job and create a ton of value for the client I’ll get a maximum of a 15% TC increase YOY (much less due to covid). Similarly if I do the absolute minimum it’s really hard to be fired since I’m in a hot market and they can’t decrease my TC without cutting my base pay (which I’m 99% sure they won’t do). And my raise/bonus won’t even necessarily be indicative of my performance anyways.

The problem is that you're only looking at comp as a baseline. If done right, trying opens up new opportunities and networks which you can then leverage for more comp. But that's indirect.

That was my thought too. I guess I’ll start job searching.

I actually feel like I'm paid too much (not that I'm complaining). I see how hard my parents work for <$50k and don't think I deserve to making 4x what they do. Maybe 2.5x for the stress, responsibility, and extra hours.

So I guess I'm not really motivated either way to work harder ..

Does anyone have a lead on / advice on finding PM positions over $220k/yr? It seems like most positions I’m targeting are closer to $150k and I’m currently at $190+. I’m not sure I qualify for big tech Director level (would be open to and great for startup Director Level)…it seems I’m a great fit for many Sales Ops / GTM PM roles but most I’m finding promote the ~$200k+ people internally and the job reqs are ~IC 4/5. I’ve designed and implemented many successful worldwide programs.
