The mind-blowing nature of the tech job market:
A new grad software engineer can make more than a Head of Engineering, both working locally. An outlier: but it happens.
It's because "tech" is a very broad field, and different companies have different compensation models.

This realization hit me as I'm finalizing my recording of the overview of the Netherlands tech job market.
There's a data point for a Head of Engineering making €61,000 and data points for new grads in Amsterdam, at Uber making ~€90K/year (€68K base, the rest bonus + equity).

Also why titles are not that telling in many cases.
When at Skyscanner, as a principal engineer I made about £90K/year, in London.
Moved to Uber and became a senior engineer. My comp doubled, and the nature of the work was similar.

Here’s the video with the data point of a Head of Engineering making ~50% below a new grad in the Netherlands, as a single - but real - data point:
Amplifying this great take from @shreyas which I agree with: how Money, Title and Scope are not as connected as most people think.
This is why a Product Manager at eg a Big Tech could already be making more than eg a CPO at a local startup; everything included.
