Context
What drives product manager pay?

Pay varies primarily with seniority, location, and sector. The UK and Germany cluster within ~10% of each other on base salary; the US runs materially higher - particularly in the Bay Area and New York, where total compensation (base, bonus, equity) is the more meaningful benchmark.
