How to clear the $200k mark? I’m currently a senior manager in product/ analytics/ growth at an old school F50. 29M, TC is about $185k ($140 base, $45 bonus/RSU). I’m on track to make director in ~2 years with ~250k TC but I’m bored and I want out to a more modern/ tech company. I’m struggling to find roles that match my current/ prospective comp… I’ve looked at sr. product roles and SM/ director analytics roles. Advice on where to look and what title? Will my age/ YOE hold me back? Thanks!

Realize that 185 is close enough and the mark means nothing and when you reach it you will feel just as empty anyway so give up and find a meaningful hobby.

Pretty much any non-entry level role at a tech company will get you over 200k. Pretty standard for an individual contributor to be making that much.

At Google you'll probably be senior individual contributor making 250-300k. Not enough experience for a manager role.

At smaller tech companies, you should definitely aim for a manager role.

Just curious how often have you been getting promoted? And how did you make the switch from IC to Manager? I ask because I don't think I want to be an IC anymore

That’s low TC for the skill set. Apply to tech companies, you should get that for Product roles. Happy to dm about Workday if you find any interesting roles there

Late stage startup can get you close + equity may put you well over
