Do you get a bonus? How much? Do you count it in your salary when posting here?

180 base, 50 bonus, plus 50-75k profit sharing and 50k equity a year.

Still feel underpaid on initial base salary :/

Bonus is discretionary and definitely not something I can depend on here.

Your set up seems good actually. How much experience and what size company? And because it does matter - man/woman? White/POC? (I’ll tell you my guesses: about 10 years experience, non-holding company, white man.)

My guess, too. A 30-ish y.o. white or Asian man in SF/Silicon Valley. Or NYC. Definitely not a woman or POC.

A bonus of that size? Equity in that amount? You’re doing great. No bonus, no equity here - not now, not ever.

In my experience strategy makes more than creative at more junior levels but I think it levels out at GCD/GSD.

Thinking you are underpaid is all relative. I think I’m underpaid but I also know I make more than my counterparts in other industries.

Don’t we all

200k base here with 15% bonus and maybe 10k in 401k profit sharing that requires vesting - bonus depends on hitting our numbers

like

I think we’re missing the focus here. Do you count all that together or separately on this board ;)?

I count base

Went from discretionary to 10% of annual salary if we hit our numbers. We did not hit our numbers last year.

Same, same

Why all the hate for the question? Even VP-level have to keep up with the Jones.

Also remember title disparities: VP in media is kinda Director anywhere else or Snr Manager in consulting.

Since no one else answered the question:

3. When will be the variable pay will be paid out ?

Can anyone here help me with this performance cycle part ? I am really confused.
