Hi all,

Currently interviewing with Databricks for a programs lead role within professional services. The job description calls for at least 5 years of PM experience and the recruiter mentioned the top of the band is $170k base.

Does this sound right? Expected a bit higher but can’t find comparable data anywhere, especially for non-tech roles.

Project Management? Yeah, that sounds right.

Honestly, $170k base doesn’t sound too off for a programs lead role. Databricks is known for paying well, but it could be that the role is more focused on managing processes rather than technical execution. Could be worth asking about bonuses though or potential for growth in the position? I'd be very grateful for 170k base comp right now

The bigger question is WHERE is the job located. If it is in the Bay Area then $170K isn't below average. But, if the job is in Utah, it is above average.

As a national average, it sounds about right.

I mistyped... in the Bay Area $170K is BELOW average.

Thanks all. It’s a remote role and I’m located in the DC area

Currently exploring non-tech roles at Databricks and curious if if they share insights on what candidates can expect as for total compensation package? or you give them a number you want and they either said too high, too low or just right.

Hi OP, wondering how it goes? Did you go through the interview process?
