Head of division at midsize privately held company. 25 years of experience.
Base $400k Bonus $150k Reasonable hours and little work travel required. Generally satisfied with comp though my role is about one level from what I assume will be my career ceiling. I’m on slightly lower end of average for my title and industry but on the very high end of compensation in my field overall. So at this point I would rather get a nice bonus in a good year than dramatically higher base pay to ensure I continue to look like a good deal. |

What is one level below faang in nontech? How do you match levels between tech and non tech? |

Engineering in tech has a completely different pay scale. You could be a technical program manager on a coding team and you'll be compensated as an engineer. You could also be a TPM for in house IT support and you'll be compensated on the non tech scale. Same job title; same general words in the JD except one side makes the product the company needs to sell and the other side is just overhead. You can't match salaries between tech and non tech. |

| I lead a talent acquistion team in the govcon space, but it's a very small team and I also pull my weight with soucing/recruiting. I make $170k + ~$15k bonus, + equity + 7 weeks of vacation and company-paid medical benefits. |

| I never passed $175k in annual comp as a corporate worker. Rrecently retired, I now earn about $600k annually via various investment returns. With my modest earning, I never imagined I would be so wealthy later in life. |
