Date: June 9th, 2026 2:15 PM Author: histrionic fiercely-loyal roommate like small companies that you've probably never heard of but still have $1b+ in revenue. do GC's make millions? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872492&forum_id=2.#49925527) |

Date: June 9th, 2026 2:28 PM Author: Alcoholic dull den 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) |

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 |

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 |

Date: June 9th, 2026 3:10 PM Author: curious orange selfie 0% for both. or maybe there's a bonus in there but the $450Kish is all in pay. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872492&forum_id=2.#49925655) |
