How much does a Senior Product Designer make? (layoffs edition)

When I wrote <a href="https://medium.com/user-experience-design-1/how-much-money-does-a-senior-product-designer-make-faa593a394aa" rel="noopener">part one</a> of this series, design jobs and recruiting outreach were much hotter. Here’s a look at a new set of emails in a Senior Product Designers' inbox from July 2022—2023 during a year of massive layoffs. All salaries are in USD and annualized. <h2>Email #1</h2> <img alt="email offer $170k" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*EIUMmsrqIlZFiSo5ZSME-g.png" style="height:792px; width:700px" /> Senior role — $170k+ (private company) Here’s some great transparency on what equity package their offering. Since I don’t see a bonus in the mix, equity would be at least $50k annually. That’s a $200,000 over 4-year deal in stock. The greater than symbol in the email signals that they are up for a negotiation to push this a bit more too. <a href="https://uxdesign.cc/how-much-does-a-senior-product-designer-make-layoffs-edition-47724b655693">Click Here</a>
