In my experience you make a fraction as an upper IC vs director. I think an upper level IC (12-25 years experience) makes about $250k-350k/year. Senior managers

In my experience you make a fraction as an upper IC vs director. I think an upper level IC (12-25 years experience) makes about $250k-350k/year. Senior managers making about $600k. Directors are probably making at least $1mm/year
- kelnos 8y agoThat greatly depends on company. I'm a fairly-senior IC (~15 years experience) and make more than your high end for your "upper level IC".
- opportune 8y agoYeah, this company is in Seattle so it doesn't hit the bay area highs. I know at Google these same people would probably be making almost double.
- malvosenior 8y agoI don't think directors make anywhere near that much. A director is going to max out ~600K all in.

To get to 1M you'll need to be a VP.
- opportune 8y agoHmm, I don't think they properly translated all of those titles. Director is supposed to be above GM/GPM/GEM at Microsoft. I guess what I meant by director is what levels.fyi labels as "VP"
