Why bother speaking finance?
The rub here is that finance,lingua franca /secret handshake of the executive caste, demands proportional compensation on top of large salaries for their "contributions".
If I as an engineer make the company a billion or save it two million, do I get the same compensation awards? Yeah no I'm in the peon class.
I'd get a plaque or maybe "distinguished" in front of my title.
- toast0 4y ago> Why bother speaking finance? You've got to speak to decision makers in their language. If your CEO is from finance, speak finance; if they're from engineering, speak engineering (and you bet the finance team will learn to speak it too); if your CEO is from sales, speak sales; etc. A great CEO is going to learn to speak all the business languages, but even still it helps to speak their native tongue.
