Not generally millions, no. But you should fall somewhere in the following ranges:

350 - 500 base

50 - 100% target bonus

75 - 200% (relative to base) annual equity

For most companies in this range, I would expect ~400 base, 100% target bonus, and 400 - 600k annual equity value, with overall comp being around 1.2 million (if it's not a distressed situation)

I was GC at a shitty PE portco with substantially lower revenue. It was supposed to be successful and filled with executive counterparts who are brilliant and experienced. Total comp was supposed to be around 800k/yr

It turned out to be deeply distressed and run by idiots (including the PE directors). I never even pulled 400k in annual comp, which was less than an AGC at a good company

this is every FORTUNE 5000 Company btw

somehow the dumbest sales boomers & gen xers sucked and fucked their way into executive positions and have been making decisions that are just a giant 'Peter Principle' flow chart that is void of literally a single instance of 2nd and 3rd Order Logic
