Ask HN: are FAANG CEOs worth their price?
What is the rationale for setting such a huge salary for CEOs
- throwaway29303 4y agoMostly risk. CEOs make certain decisions under lots of uncertainty and if they're successful they'll earn a lot if not they're replaced with someone else. It's rare for a dismissed CEO to be a CEO ever again.
- silisili 4y agoThis just feels wrong. If you gave those conditions to the job, nearly every person on Earth would take the job. Who cares if I can't be CEO again, I probably was never going to be one in the first place. CEOs make a ton of money because they supposedly add a lot of value. Whether that is true or not seems debatable.
