Several sales people almost certainly do. CEO makes up for it with stock. But on

Sounds like a pretty bad CEO. If they’re killing it on performance and making more than you, great. Hire more like them

My old CEO only made $1.6MM and was out earned by many employees each year.

I would be willing to accept their stock compensation

That's typically the trade for going into sales and biz dev. There is risk in taking options, often substantial. I know

Pretty sure mine isn’t taking a salary. He’ll certainly make up for it when we

I'm my company's CEO and about 20% of my team makes more than me.

I don’t think all the salespeople combined make what the CEO makes
