Senior eng manager at large well-known silicon valley company. 24 years of experience. $300K salary, roughly $300K annual stock grants. I put in a full week's work, which is ~40/hrs
Did you rise up through the ranks or did you get hired as an EM?
Ten years as IC before I switched to management. My level has been flat for about 6 years though due to poor choices (I stuck around in a couple of go-nowhere projects, ...)
This sounds like where I am right now. Made some bad choices in alignment and I'm flat. Maybe I'll crawl out, maybe I won't. I have an exit strategy though, so in the long run, it will pay off.
