In other news, CEOs are the highest paid workers in Silicon Valley.

This is a seniority thing not a "this function is more valuable" thing.

Product managers are actually not that "senior" in the corporate ladder. They have lots of responsibility without much authority.

They are on average more senior than engineers though, because product manager isn't usually an entry level role.

The "manager" title makes it seem like it's more senior across the board. This perception influences their salaries.

I'm still not convinced that the average CEO actually does any work. So calling them a "worker" is a stretch.
