What is a PM Worth? Project Managers Salaries
SaaS project management may seem like it would be a simple job. After all, all you have to do is
keep a project running, right? In reality, it is a very difficult job that requires you to plan,
organize, work with a team, and take an idea from a scribble on a piece of paper to the final
product. A project may be something as simple as coming up with a new company logo or it
could even be managing how a city would react to a natural disaster. You need certification for
SaaS project management and project managers are paid according to what they are worth.
There is a possibility that you could find a job that does not require you to have certification as a
SaaS project management professional. While you would still get a fairly nice salary, a
certification can increase your salary by as much as $10,000 a year. Even in this rough economy,
a certification can earn you not only a position with a respected company but a high salary as
well. If you already have a position as a project manager than you can obtain other certifications
which will help you advance in the company. On average, you can earn more than $60,000
dollars as a project manager and the more certifications you have, the more your salary will rise.
Working on SaaS project management is not just a job you can do in the United States. You can
be a project manager with SaaS just about anywhere in the world. No matter what country you
work in, you will be paid what you are worth. Again, the more certifications you have the better
your salary will be. It is important that you understand that other countries may or may not pay

need to convert to American dollars to see your salary. You may be offered a high paying job in
a foreign nation because no one else wants it for some reason. Do your research. You do not
have to take a job because as a SaaS project management professional your skills are in demand.
Experience and location will have an effect on your salary. Bigger cities will pay more than
small towns will for example. A project manager who has 20 years of experience can expect to
make as much as $145,000 in some areas. Having several years of actual project management
experience is as valuable as having multiple certifications and some employers see it as proof
you are a team player.
