I’m amazed after only 5 yoe you’re pulling down $200k. This seems like a flex and not actually a question.

like

200k in HCOL is below average. many people in LCOL clearing $150k at 3 YOE in finance IB type roles or MBB

Not with 5 yoe. Sounds like you are at a corp that inflates director titles (looking at you American Express)

Normally a director would typically be 8-10 years of experience on the low end at most corps.

Yea this. Our F100 directors have like 15-20 YOE at least and usually make 225-300.

You are underpaid for the title but not for your experience if you are 5 years post UG. For big corp strategy director title I would expect the person to have MBA plus MBB or tier 2 consulting experience at manager level. With all that I would say 250k to 300k plus all in.

How did you get a strategy director role after 3 yoe

like

Reports to managing director, senior director, executive director and vice vice director.

Some companies use director in place of manager. Doubt he’s actually managing a team with 5 YOE and no industry experience

How big is your company in terms of employees and annual revenue?

500 million revenue 1500+ employees

you are not underpaid

Agreed, at 500mm revenue company you are fairly paid.
