@elite.recruiter: The difference between a $200K executive and a $2M executive is not 10x the talent or the work. It is a completely different understanding of what is being compensated. One is being paid for function. The other is being paid for enterprise impact. And the shift between those two things comes down to four things: perception, proximity, communication, and narrative. None of them are taught at orientation. Comment ELITE for the free weekly newsletter. Comment CONFESS to subscribe to Corporate Confessions where I go inside offers like this every week.

so the 2m executive takes credit for everyones hard work, while the 200k executive actually impacts the company... got it...

The first 200k is the hardest. And then it goes from there

This is laughable because I’ve done what the 2 mill exec has done and was severely underpaid [Tears of joy]

for me, I'll never understand if someone worth 2m can make those kind of changes, why are they doing that for someone else and not for themselves

company size is the difference. 200k is a director level salary. executives get paid more than that

I love your content. This is very insightful. I don’t want to be an executive but it helps us underhand the leaders we work with.

I had $1M on paper and walked away from it. I specialized in acquisition and adding new revenue through new markets/new products. It cost me everything that $1M couldn't buy back.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned in this video is the cost of operating at that level. Everyone wants the money but forget the impact to family, friends, and health. Something’s gotta give. Always.

I see a lot of comments that seem off. But in a Fortune 50 company, this happens more often than most people realize.

Knowing that executive is my next Big career jump, I’m having a hard time figuring out what it is. I need to learn and be experienced at to be able to make those key decisions in an insightful and impactful way. I feel like people are gatekeeping this.
