Ask HN: What is the salary for a Software Engineering Manager?
2 points by davidshariff on July 19, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
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



Unless 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.


In addition the number of reporting developers, is it managing a cost center or a profit center, and most importantly, how much can you get from another employer.


Just ran a search on data I scraped.

Most of the jobs with manager in it had no salary data, but what I got is below. 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]
