That does sound like a high salary but honestly, I have no idea what a Principal Product Manager does nor how much the average one gets paid. My daughter is a scientist for Genentech and she gets a salary in that ballpark. I think that's what highly skilled people are paid these days. As to the benefits, I WANT companies to provide good benefits to their employees. I'm not happy about the boost approvals dropping and I'd like to make more money as a writer/publisher but this is still my home and I trust that Medium is trying to figure out how to make it work for everyone. This job posting doesn't change my mind about that.
