What does mid level product manager comp look like in SF?

Question

I'm interviewing with a non-FAANG that gave me a range of $250-$350k per year in SF for a product manager role. Is that average or low? This is with 5+ years of tech experience

That seems crazy high to me, personally.

Just FYI, unless the company is eminently filing for an IPO, or is already public, I would not include RSU as a liquid benefit.
It is (unfortunately) likely that the stock will be worth something approximating zero in a couple years, rather than maintaining or increasing from the current funding valuation.
You should also consider burn rate, current runway, and health of competition.

I know it wasn&rsquo;t one of your options, but I would say high (just going off what some of my PM friends make so I could be wrong).

That's at least a bit north of average, IME.PM friends of mine are in the 150-180 range for base pay. Can't speak to equity comp.

It's on the higher end for 5 years, but it depends on a lot of factors -- if you're really concerned it's low, get multiple offers.
