Ask HN: Salaries for non-engineering roles?

Posted by yeodrone on Saturday April 29, 2017 @12:11AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I work for a fairly large tech company that is known to make people work 60 hrs.

I have 10 yrs of software development (9 years as hands on) experience. Last month I moved from Software Engineer to Technical Program Manager role.

I am wondering what are the salaries for non-engineering/non-developer role?

I am looking for salaries for following roles

TPM (technical program manager)

Product Manager

Analytics Manager

Data Engineering lead (not a software engineer)

How much goog/fb/amazon/apple/Netflix pay for these roles?

You can share anonymously it you want.

Thanks!

This site: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Technical_Program_Ma...

has helped me to get a bit around with salaries, but as I do not have much work experience and don't work in the US I cant answer how many you should get paid.

Look at Glassdoor, I'm not in US but I believe those roles are paid more than plain engineering roles. People in those roles you mentioned take more responsibilities and direct impact on company growth and earnings.

From what I know of people who do those (TPMs anyway) it varies wildly based on perceived contribution and skill set.

Also, what do you mean by "data engineering lead (not a software engineer)?"

Data engineering lead is new name what used to be called Sr. ETL developer. People in these roles don't do front end development or api development per se. They work on sql, hadoop, hive, data cleaning operations etc.
