What’s the median salary for product managers in 2026?

U.S. median hits $149k-$159k base. AI PMs pull $180k-$260k total comp.

Are there really more engineering jobs than candidates?

Yes — three roles per qualified engineer, especially Python/AWS specialists.

Selective only. AI skills boom; generalists face silence.

Forget the layoff hangover. Product management roles hit a three-year peak at 7,300 open spots globally. Here's why that number hides a brutal split.
