Why this topic matters

Executive compensation goes far beyond base salary: it includes equity, bonuses, level, scope, and long-term incentives. But most execs under-negotiate because the stakes are high and the rules are murky. Without a strategic response, you risk losing leverage and letting executive recruiters or comp committees shape the outcome. Worse, you may set the wrong precedent with your future CEO or board.
