How much of a paycut should I expect going from Strategy & Analytics Manager to Product Manager? (First PM Job). Almost at the final stage with a startup of about 50 people (Series A). Recruiter said feedback have been positive and I have one last meeting with the head of engineering remaining for overall fit interview tomorrow. I’m preparing just in case there’s an offer at the end of the week. Currently making 180k base if you need more context. Have a semi technical background as well

At Series A, it really depends on stock option value. Typically base + bonus in cash comp, if its Product Manager and not director level, I've seen my friends get $120K - $160K base + bonus 15%+.

Ofc, and it was way before Meta.

I’d say 150 base, 30 bonus, 25-50k rsu is reasonable.

I think you'll be able to get the bump OP, it's definitely worth putting out there

I’d been seeing 120-150 max on base for PMs around that stage.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?
