What is a normal salary for Sr design Ops manager?

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
