At FANGMA, yes - almost always. Managers typically has level either equal to or more than employee they manage. In addition, managers gets to make recommendations for bonuses for their directs. This by default make them at least as much paid as their directs. In a weird scenario it may be possible that manager gets dinged while he/she recommends better bonus for same leveled direct. However this is very rare because typically manager gets to claim at least partial credit for his/her direct and of course they are the ones with direct lines to higher up.
On a side note, this is a bad thing for industry because it makes lot of great ICs forced in to management.
- matt_s 8y agoA manager has hiring, firing and often budget responsibilities. Also over-looked other HR responsibilities like ensuring policies are being followed which are usually there because there are laws the company has to comply with, like sexual harassment. There is more risk to the larger company if a manager acts unethically or worse, illegally, with these responsibilities. Given that a legal/ethical issue can potentially cost a company a lot of money, a good manager should be paid more in addition to other actual area of expertise responsibilities they have. If they are more of a supervisor or team lead, literally managing workloads of people without the budget or hiring/firing HR responsibilities then maybe one could argue they may not necessarily make more than other Software Engineers.
