What’s a PMM?

Paid Media manager or product marketing manager

I'm a Paid Media Manager

The range is wide because PMM scope varies wildly — but here's a realistic NYC baseline at 5 years: base salary $120-145K, bonus 10-15%, and equity if you're at a tech company. Total comp realistically lands $135-175K depending on company stage. Series B-C startups often out-pay enterprise on total comp due to equity, while big tech (Google, Meta, Amazon) pushes $180-220K but is increasingly harder to land. Agency-side PMM roles are the outlier — same title, often $20-30K less with minimal equity. The variance you're seeing is real. Are you comparing base only or full comp packages?

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.
