What do you think is the typical pay for a design manager? Does comp stop increasing for this role after a certain number of years?

Large holding co? Independent agency? Big city?

Otherwise? $60-120k depending on the criteria above.

Do you specifically want to be managing people or are you more referring to senior design roles? I’m a Senior Designer in Denver now and have been seeing jobs pop up for design manager/product leads/senior UX designers around $130-$140k. Definitely on the higher end but I would expect other urban areas to be there or likely higher than Denver.

I think at some point you probably hit a cap with pay (or move to the big companies like FAANG) and you find increased value in other areas like title, equity, responsibility, new challenges, etc.
