Assessment

During a 2016-01-28 interview, Evi Meyer gave an offhand estimate that the average product manager salary in Israel was around $95,000 to $100,000 USD per year (~30,400 to 32,100 NIS/month at the prevailing 2015-2016 exchange rate of ~3.84-3.88 ILS/USD). Israeli recruitment and salary benchmarks from Jobinfo, SQLINK, and AllJobs from 2015-2016 show that while senior PMs and PM directors (as well as PMs at major multinationals like SAP) averaged 30,000 to 35,000 NIS/month (~$94,000 to $109,000 USD/year), the broader market average across all experience levels (entry to senior) sat lower, roughly between 20,000 and 26,000 NIS/month (~$62,000 to $81,000 USD/year). Because the figure accurately captures the senior/tier-1 product manager band but overstates the blended market-wide average by roughly 20-25%, the claim resolves as partially true.

At 2015-2016 USD/ILS exchange rates (~3.84-3.88 ILS/USD), $95,000-$100,000 USD per year corresponded to ~30,400-32,100 NIS per month.
Jobinfo Q2 2015 tech salary benchmarks placed mid-level PMs (3-5 years) at 25,000-30,000 NIS/month (~$78,000-$94,000 USD/year) and senior PMs/directors at 30,000-35,000 NIS/month (~$94,000-$109,000 USD/year).
SQLINK and AllJobs salary tables from 2015-2016 reported overall PM salary ranges spanning 14,000 to 30,000 NIS/month across 0-6+ years of experience, yielding a cross-level average closer to $70,000-$80,000 USD/year.
