Things that raise your pay
Technical depth
Product managers with an engineering background are trusted with the hardest products, like platforms and AI features.
A shipped product people use
Nothing beats it. Even a small app with real users.
Data skills
SQL (the language for pulling data out of databases) and basic statistics. Product managers who can answer their own questions move faster.
Domain knowledge
Payments, health care, security. Deep knowledge of one industry commands a premium.
