PPMD will be more in the long run, but it’s also no guarantee. Also, depends on how much you care about salary vs TC

Not sure - you can make very good money at the Director / VP level at FAANG which would be way more chill than being a PPMD

Generally speaking you can make a lot more in an equivalent position in Tech compared to the years you spend slaving as SM. So leaving as SM1 to Tech at Principal/Director level makes you richer in the short term (think 1.5-1.7X). Once the sign on RSUs run out at year 4, you might start seeing parity with prospective PMD salaries. At this point it depends on factors like how well you did in Tech in those initial years, if you got another promotion, if you received a special stock award etc. If none of these happened, you can certainly switch jobs again and get those RSUs and get another level shift in salary. So yeah leaving as SM pays in the short run. The sooner you do it the better.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.
