I suspect the salary difference will be a LOT more than 15 to 20%. More like 50% at first, and tough to close that gap (he might get on a fast track, but he'd also have gotten raises as a PM).
According to Glassdoor, Product Manager at Google is something like 200K/year (an MBA should be making more), Facebook is similar, and Apple a little less.
A bootcamp graduate shouldn't be making more than 100K/year from what I know of the U.S. (might be wrong).
Maybe his credentials make him hired at a higher salary, but nowhere near his former one.
