Sure, but mediocre does not imply "not fully competent", at least not to me. Maybe it was just bad wording in the GP.

But I also don't consider a product manager higher in the hierarchy, at least not explicitly. Does a PM get paid more than a mid-level engineer?

I believe project managers/product owners get compensated better than engineers in my environment. They may or may not have a technical background. I'm not sure if this is generally true.
