Lowballing at Senior Levels
Lowballing at Senior Levels
Some EDs, and very few, have authority and are usually handled by US/UK MDs.
No budget at disposal. This is an execution-focused role.
There's no strategic impact, no matter what others say to you. Even local MDs have very little say in budget, barring a few.
Lowballing senior industry leaders on salary is common. They place you around the 50th percentile and don't change it much over the next 3-4 years.
