Description

Key Takeaways:

  • Why $200K is no longer the finish line (and how inflation, lifestyle, and goals reveal the gap)
  • The invisible ceiling most high earners hit—and how to break it
  • How to audit your real total compensation before chasing higher offers
  • Why promotions at this level come from owning scope, not just working harder
  • How switching industries or companies can instantly raise your comp ceiling
  • The truth about equity: RSUs vs. options, cliffs, and startup fantasy math
  • Visibility = compensation: how to make decision-makers see your value
  • High-paying, rare skills that lead to $300K+ comp packages
  • Why you should interview every year (even if you're not planning to leave)
  • Bonus income streams: consulting, board roles, speaking, and advisory work
  • Common traps: silent loyalty, stalled titles, and equity that goes nowhere
  • Final message: You don’t get paid what you're worth—you get paid what you position yourself to earn.
