How Should I Approach Negotiating Executive Compensation?

Understanding the Full Compensation Package

Executive compensation goes far beyond base salary. Packages often include bonuses, equity, deferred compensation, perks, and long-term incentives. Negotiating effectively requires a full-picture view.


Approach compensation conversations from a position of strength. Articulate the value you create, tie your track record to company performance, and demonstrate long-term impact.

Balancing Salary with Equity and Perks

Executives often trade base salary for equity, signing bonuses, or performance-based incentives. The right balance depends on your priorities and the company’s stage of growth. Endeavor equips executives with negotiation strategies that ensure they secure both fair compensation and future upside.
