Hi there,
Just wanted to find out how salaries are like for a product manager profile like mine. Just so I can benchmark if I'm on the right track.
I have 8 years of experience in software product development related work, eg. business analysis, business/user requirements, market research, user testing, roadmap planning.
My progression was like this:
2008 to 2009 - Contract Product Analyst at MNC bank: 2200 + OT ~ $2800
2009 to 2010 - convert to perm: ~ $3000
2010 to 2011 - same role raise ~ $3210
2011 to 2012 - Quit and started own thing ~ $0
2012 to 2013 - Back to work at fund management project contractor: $3400
2013 to 2014 - Contractor at Tech MNC: $3900
2014 to 2015 - Perm Product Manager at eCommerce: $4800
2015 to 2015 - same role raise: $5100
2015 to 2016 - Product Manager at another eCommerce: $5500
2016 onwards - Senior Product Manager at another eCommerce: $8500
UOL external degree - 2nd Lower Hons (Grad 2009)
MsC Info Systems -
NTU (Grad 2015)
Masters didn't really do anything salary wise, but I guess did raise my profile a bit.
2016 jump most likely due to finally getting a proper salary benchmarked to industry.
Just wanted to hear your opinions on this trajectory, can it be much better??
