Poorly paid European here... And these days with rampant inflation and no heating( free health insurance not making up for that) ...Trying to get a fell for the average TC for director role in CPG in the US. I am seeing low ball numbers on job advertising (180k). Is that normal or should I be looking more at 250-300k? How does it compare to the average exit opportunity for mbb PL, manager ( e cling the tech exploding bubble)

I would think 200-225 base is about right. Trust me when I said 200k here is infinitely better than 100k in EU

Director salary varies HUGELY by company even if the same industry… I’ve been offered Director roles from $180k base to $260k base (+ incentives, but incentives too vary)

I can’t speak to CPG, and titles vary by company, but I think you’re right about 250-300k (that’s about what directors make at my company). Maybe the numbers you’re seeing in the advertising are only base salary? Performance bonus can be a big component at the director+ level.

Hahaha yeah.... Why do people say that 50k in EU is better than 200k in US... Still the cliché of EU life makes no sense

The very general argument that “middle class” in the EU/UK is better than “middle class” in the states because of less concern over health care and college debt and more PTO is arguable. But as soon as you get to more mid- senior level positions I think the argument gets crushed.

Agree with the above, but it definitely varies by industry. I’m in retail/CPG now and my base is $180k as a senior manager, so I’m pretty sure directors are $200k - $250k base. Agree TC could go up to $300k.

With all that in mind, at my last company (still CPG), director was more like $150k - 190k base.

TC is 300k for me.

Director at a F500 base in the 200s base is pretty standard, but add in bonus and for many companies stock awards, TC can readily hit high 300s (Wal-Mart, Target, P&G, etc.)
