Product Owner is like a project manager.
I’d put her in the 100-200k range.
Working for Apple, potentially near Apple HQ.
You could live paycheck to paycheck on that. No shit.
Or you could live within your means in a low cost of living area. I know a software PM in rural Appalachia.
edit: I guess the caveat is that I dont know Apple's remote-work stance. It is certainly feasible at other aoftware companies
I’m saying I could live comfortably in most places with my salary BUT having a family does dictate that some of my decisions place me grasping above my income bracket.
I’m “poor” in my area on 6figures because I chose to be close to good schools.
I chose to be taxed more for better stuffs.
