How to read this number
The take-home figure applies a flat effective rate to a modelled gross band, so it is an estimate for comparison rather than a payslip. Bonuses, overtime, shift premiums, benefits and equity all sit outside it. Annual bonus targets are often quoted as a percentage of base—ask whether the advertised band is target-inclusive.
PM pay tracks company stage: early startup equity-heavy, enterprise cash-heavy, and platform PMs priced above feature PMs at the same level.
