Are there any other engineering managers here? Where do you live, and how much do you make, if you don't mind me asking?

This engineering manager is at 110k +10% bonus eligible. I am being taken for a ride! Knoxville, TN.

190k Nashville

This was after hard negotiations as I’m in chemicals and their starting salary was $160k. They claimed low cost of living in Nashville which is NOT TRUE and I was coming from a competitor with a higher salary so they increased it as they were desperate.

OKC $132k+10%

I’m not, but I know my previous employer paid $130k in New Mexico.

165k Texas.

Man, Geotech engineers get the shaft (pun intended for those that get it). 125 at a HCOL area near DC.

Im in-between as I manage both technicians and engineers in a semiconductor development lab but our general salaries are within a 90-125k range + bonus in Hillsboro, OR.

Your stock incentives + guaranteed bonus amounts are generally the thing you’ll have influence over and will determine your lifetime earnings.

I’d recommend assessing stock/bonus compensation more than salary levels if you’re new to management as those are going to be more important in the long term.

140k + 10% bonus (if we're doing well) + ~$30k in RSUs last year... not sure if that last is a regular thing but I've been managing a couple of years now and they seem to keep those types of incentives up. Outside of Boston, MA. A decent number of my employees are now senior level so possibly another step in the near future?

Michigan
1st level manager of frontline engineers 145 to 160k
2nd level managing 1st level and some direct reports 160 to 180k
Directors 180 to 225k
5% bonus with company performance
14% 401k when vested

I was on £73k in 2015 as Senior Eng Mgr in Scotland. Haven’t earned anything like that since.

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with.

He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?

I was recently promoted to a new position at my company. I'm so excited to be taking on this new challenge, but it's not going as well as I had hoped.

I've been given a lot of responsibilities, which is great. But I don't feel like any of them are being prioritized or delegated appropriately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from my manager, who is quite demanding and doesn't seem to understand that I need time to get things done and learn new skills.
