Leadership keeps talking about how “strategic” PMM is, but when comp time comes around it feels like we’re still seen as support. Do PMMs actually get paid like strategy partners anywhere?

I see a disconnect from the roles that have a direct line to being seen as making money and the teams that support those who make the money. Salaries follow as you’d expect.

interesting take

"Strategic" without corresponding comp is just flattery to justify scope creep. At tech companies that actually value PMM (think SaaS, B2B), senior PMMs make $150K-220K+ because they directly influence revenue. Everywhere else, you're sandwiched between product and marketing budgets – getting "strategic" responsibilities with "support function" pay.
If leadership calls PMM strategic but you're paid 20-30% less than PM counterparts doing comparable work, they're lying. Find a company where comp matches the rhetoric, not just the title.

Copywriter, 30/M/NYC/5 year’s exp. Currently at 90k. In-house at major global brand. Hoping to ask for raise/promo soon. What’s a realistic number?

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
