.....I just place a Vice President with 10 years of experience and they don’t even make that.
Me: they sound underpaid.
R: well they don’t have to travel. My advice to you is if you get an offer for that much you should take it.
Me: my advice to you is to be better at your job.

Re: the VP, what did they get in terms of equity? In PE owned companies I've seen VP salaries around $150k but with MIP bonuses targeted around 50% and with significant options that would pay hundreds of thousands in event of a positive transaction.

At least you saved both of yourselves some time. I have been getting a range of positions I’m either way under qualified for (e.g 15-20 years experience leading a company) or doesn’t tie at all with my experience. For instance: random accounting gigs (I’m not an accountant) with $55k base, which would be a $100k pay cut for me. I think recruiting= send random shit on LinkedIn and see what happens.
