You aren't making 6 figures with the listed experience and education? Product managers make bank in tech

TC just over 6 figures, but I know I’m under paid. One of the reasons I’m looking.

I’ve been thinking about PM for tech since my MBA is focused in tech/analytics. I’ve been trying to figure out what levels to apply for and what companies.
