Currently feeling like I’m being way underpaid for my role as a tech Project Manager in Austin, TX. Can any other PMs weigh in and let me know your salary ranges? I have 2 YOE with Cisco and 2.5 YOE prior to that, yet I’m only at $75k. Wanting to ask for a raise soon so just looking to get an idea as to what others are making.

YES! This is disrturbingly low.

It's actually in the range, but I'd say with 5+ YoE, you could be making more. On the higher end, you'd be looking at $115-$120k.

Hmm does seem pretty low even for Austin (which I know is also getting crazy expensive)

I'm a 6 years experienced software test engineer, Joined Cisco with package 18.5Lpa(16.8 fixed pay).. Am I underpaid? Please pour in your suggestions Cisco

Yeah. You’re low. I am guessing you’re a grade 6.

It depends on a lot of factors, but given that you only have 2 years under your belt, I would say this is on target. I could be wrong though.

What level are you at? Cisco generally likes to start below the mid range of that level
