Salaries

Anyone take or interview for Chief of Staff to CEO roles post consulting? What’s expected salary range?

I’ve been an independent consultant for 18 years, working internationally with large corps before taking a Group CEO at a Strategy and Data consultancy.

Moving to LA, what level, salary can I ask for

Any insights (comp/interview/role/targets) on Google Cloud Key Account Exec Director roles for GCP? With TK as the new GCP CEO, I heard they are hiring senior Partner/Principal level leaders?

Anyone take a look at the Deloitte Risk and Financial Advisory (RFA) scandal that's brewing? The 2018 comp and aip/bonus was horrendous because the RFA CEO siphoned $50MM to the himself and partners

When is the right time to bring up comp in start-up interviews? I was approached by the CEO, interviewed with her, and then presented a case. Cont.

Does anyone know what the typical comp structure is like for a CEO of a small ($5M annual revenue) privately funded corp? I assume like $250k + bonus + commission of some sort? Any details from exper?

What’s the typical salary ranking of C- level execs (knowing it varies by company). CEO gets paid the most, then CFO or COO, then Strategy and Supply Chain, then Marketing and HR?

I was offered the CEO position at a greenfield startup backed by a big firm to start from 0.
Does anybody know what should I be looking for as a comp. package? they are offering equity % + salary $$$

Would you rather be a CEO of a small company (50m USD revenue) or an AP in McK? Assume same salary, benefits, & lifestyle

I put you in the CEO chair, give you financial targets to hit to earn your bonus, I give it three months before you’re out there buying back your own ass just to hit those numbers. Don’t even front.

I’ve been interviewing with a startup and have my 4th and final round coming up. Its been Peer>Direct Manager>CEO and now the CFO. What are the chances they will want to discuss comp in the interview?

Would you leave consulting to head up strategy at a small growing tech company? Comp is $165k base + bonus. Offer also includes equity (ceo tells me they are planning to IPO...)

Sr.Mgr at GE Digital (L4) or M at Salesforce (L6)?

Both with very comparable comp.. GE is much closer to CEO.. high visibility... Salesforce is one amongst many minions.. but company sounds better

What’s the all in comp for SVP at a fortune 200 company (not a bank, reports to a direct report to ceo)?

Passed interview with CEO onto to a group interview with the team and was not asked about salary/forgot to ask the range, should I wait to see if I pass this phase to bring it up?

Thoughts on Chief of Staff Roles within industry? Recruiting with a multi-national sales training and performance company as the CoS to their CEO. They want to build out a new professional service arm amongst other strategic growth initiatives and they need someone to help push the agenda. By thoughts I am looking for things like... are these valued positioned in companies, trajectory into an executive role in a few years, compensation accretive, interesting work?

Comp sounds like it will be +\- $165, 25% bonus and some variable comp tied to the performance of the sales team (don't know numbers here but certainly interesting). Is that in play for this type role? I am currently M1, S&O, MBA from top 5, high performer. Represents a small bump for me on my current base pay and bonus

Startup salary expectations? Equity? I'd be the 13th employee, they have $5M funding, doing somewhere from 1-2M in sales (estimate), flat org, reporting to CEO. I have 6 yrs expedite, making 150k now

For all you asking about raises: New Ford CEO Jim Hackett received a 151% raise in his base salary this week, rising to $1.8 million from the $716,000 he made as chairman of Ford Smart Mobility. 😎

My consulting day of the year: steerco of client 1, lunch with CEO of client 2 (+partner), conf call regarding transfer to Asia, meeting regarding compensation.

Been with my current company for 6 years. Started in customer service and added HR responsibilities year 1. Now do on-boarding,recruiting, phone screening, interviewing, salary negotiation, offer letters, medical enrollment, and revamped employee handbook. I hold the HR Manager title when dealing with paperwork but my CEO still has not made an official announcement and my pay is not the market rate of an HR Manager. Majority of my work is still in Customer Service.
What do I do now?

If you join a seed stage start up just prior to Series A in a CEO minus 1 role (e.g. COO or Chief of Staff), can anyone speak to a framework / key considerations for comp expectations in terms of cash vs. equity?

PhD + 2 YoE and contemplating a jump here vs. big corporates but would appreciate any advice on how to evaluate the opportunity. Thanks in advance

Life as an EM had been good for past 6 months but I can see next year being crazy due to attrition, team constraints and growing demand. Quite keen to get out of consulting and have sensible WLB. I have an offer to join as a strategy mgr at a relatively mature FS org reporting into VP of strategy (who reports into the CEO). Comp is okay but I am concerned that this may be a bit junior? Also not sure if EM to individual contributor is a big step down or a norm when you move to industry?

Any examples of a variable compensation model for VP Corp Dev (head of corp dev, a sweating to only CEO) of 1B rev company? Like what percentage of the deal should I ask for in addition to 250K salary and undetermined amt of equity? i.e., 3% on deals up to $1M, 1% on deals up to $10M etc.

I got an offer to join exec team (direct report to CEO) of a company - I don’t know/come from the industry, nor do I know the team (beyond interviews). Legit company in fintech, been around for decades, privately held and on path to IPO in 2-3 years. Comp is easily 2x what I make now 3 years post MBA, with equity upside. Better WLB too. But…can’t shake the feeling theres something here I’m missing. Is it just impostor syndrome or am I really unqualified to do this and should avoid?

Evaluating a job offer from Wells Fargo at level 4 position (SVP, 4 Levels down the CEO, business product role). What's a competitive total comp for NY location?

8 years of experience.

In the final stages of a strategy lead role at a software company that sells back office technology to Financial Services firms.

This role would report directly to the CEO and primarily be tasked with developing new businesses or ventures for the company.  ideation to commercialization. 

What sort of comp should I be looking at? Previous role was a startup, so I’m not really sure of my market value. NYC-based.

Interview next week for a fintech VP role (real VP reporting to CEO, not the fake traditional finance VP titles) and have no idea what target salary should be. Glassdoor is all over the place. Trying to crowdsource a reasonable number.

I got contacted for a job offer for a Chief of Staff role in SF. Tech company that’s 18-24 months away from an IPO. Around 200 employees and well funded. More of a “strategic advisor to the CEO” role than “shadow” or “gatekeeper” role. Any insight on what I can expect in terms of salary / stock option plan? Thanks!

What should expected comp be for a chief of staff to PortCo CEO? 3 years Post MBA currently

Heard there is update on upcoming year compensation at Deloitte per Deloitte CEO email on 1/20. Anyone can share the detail?

Got promoted to M last year in August with 2% raise. Deloitte CEO announced early raises and bonuses this year by a quarter (in May).Also he told that base salary increase this year will consider performance of both PY20 and PY21. How much percentage raise can I expect? Is it just a retention straregy?

How high a base salary can go in a big bank? I’m not referring to the total comp (TC) but only base salary before bonus... I assume the highest it can go is up to the CEO’s base but, realistic speaking, what is the maximum i should expect or better put, dream as a potential base salary? I’m currently a SVP, it is somewhere between a VP and a director.
