What our data shows for General and Operations Managers
RoleHue publishes 122 salary records for General and Operations Managers, across 4 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $113,834 at the 25th percentile to $219,991 at the 75th, a spread of $106,157 around $159,765. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $159,765 figure rather than in dollars (66% of it), that spread is wider than 94% of the roles we cover, so a single figure summarises this title worse than it does most others.
San Francisco, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $178,298; New York, NY the lowest at $150,000, a gap of $28,298. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $28,298, narrower than the $106,157 band within cities: for General and Operations Managers, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.
No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is New York, NY, with 58 of the 122 records we publish for this role (48%). Evidence clears 25 records in 2 of the 4 cities; for the rest, the city median we show rests on fewer records than that.
