The complete Model PM guide: inside the highest-paid PM job in tech
aakashgupta · x · 2026-10-21
The author expands his earlier thread into a paid long-form guide analyzing every open PM listing across 95 company career pages. Model PM is the highest-paying PM sub-field, with roughly a 60% premium over non-AI PMs, consistent across mid/senior/staff levels. The guide covers: what a model PM is and its sub-types, background analysis of incumbents, who's hiring and what JDs ask for, what the job looks like inside top labs, practical paths to learn the five key skills, the toolkit, and how to land the job — building on Madhu Guru's "fewer than 75 qualified people worldwide" thesis.
