Ask HN: What is the salary for a Software Engineering Manager?
Many other threads or polls focus on engineers or remote workers, but I'm interested in those who are in software engineering management positions.
Include base salary + bonuses / stock + job title + location
- tptacek 12y agoUnless it contains "junior", title is the least interesting factor in compensation for tech workers. Things that matter significantly more: * Is it a technology company or not? * How big is the company? * How old is the company? * Where is the company located? The idea that a flood of people are going to give you nicely formatted compensation information is a bit wishful. A better idea would be to be more specific about the job you're considering, so that people can answer your question directly.

I wasn't sure exactly what kind of thing qualified as engineering manager so I just grabbed anything with manager in the job title. Rakuten Loyalty, Product Manager, 70,000-100,000 Robots and Rockets, Senior Mobile Product Manager, 100,000-150,000 The Foundation Center, Enterprise Database Manager (3+ Years), 90,000-115,000 Yelp, Engineering Manager - Mobile, 140,000-200,000 Restoration Media, Software Development Manager, 60,000-90,000 [edit for clarity]
