FAQ
- Q: How do I negotiate a higher salary offer?
- A: Always negotiate — 85% of offers have room. Start by asking for the full compensation breakdown (base, equity, bonus, sign-on), then focus on the component with the most flexibility. At most companies, sign-on bonus and equity have more room than base salary.
- Q: What is the average PM salary at FAANG companies?
- A: L5 (Senior PM) total compensation ranges from $300K-$550K depending on company and location. Base salary is typically $180K-$230K, with equity making up the largest variable component.
- Q: Should I share my current salary during negotiation?
- A: No. In many states it's illegal for employers to ask. Instead, redirect: 'I'm focused on finding the right role and total package — what's the range for this position?' This keeps leverage on your side.
