Ask HN: What is the salary for a Software Engineering Manager?
2 comments
Unless it contains "junior", title is the least interesting factor in compensation for tech workers. Things that matter significantly more:
* Is it a technology company or not?
* How big is the company?
* How old is the company?
* Where is the company located?
The idea that a flood of people are going to give you nicely formatted compensation information is a bit wishful. A better idea would be to be more specific about the job you're considering, so that people can answer your question directly.

In addition the number of reporting developers, is it managing a cost center or a profit center, and most importantly, how much can you get from another employer.
Just ran a search on data I scraped.
Most of the jobs with manager in it had no salary data, but what I got is below. I wasn't sure exactly what kind of thing qualified as engineering manager so I just grabbed anything with manager in the job title.
Rakuten Loyalty, Product Manager, 70,000-100,000
Robots and Rockets, Senior Mobile Product Manager, 100,000-150,000
The Foundation Center, Enterprise Database Manager (3+ Years), 90,000-115,000
Yelp, Engineering Manager - Mobile, 140,000-200,000
Restoration Media, Software Development Manager, 60,000-90,000
