Uhh if you are a senior PM and you want to make >100k you should... apply to senior PM roles that pay >100k?

There are a ton out there, just spoof up your resume and start applying. High level PMs at FAANG make at least 200k base + a ton more with equity.

If the goal is to get more money, starting a whole new job path is a crazy choice, just find a senior PM role that pays more. If you hate PM that is a different discussion.

OP is a project manager. This is different than a product manager (which I think you're referring to) or a program manager. I don't think there are many $100K+ jobs for general project managers. My actual advice would be to switch to one of those other roles

> I don't think there are many $100K+ jobs for general project managers

I hire project managers and I would say this is very location dependent and also very industry dependent. Find the right type of projects in the right industry and $100,000 should be very very achievable in a medium-cost-of-living city. It should be a no-brainer in NYC or SF.

That said, again depending on industry and type of projects, there’s a lot of risk in switching jobs for 20% more salary. How long until those projects dry up and you’re first out the door?
