I’m just finding some of these answers hard to believe. Maybe if the pay was $1M, but Fortune 500 CEOs avg compensation is around $15M a year.No, I would not take it (I do not have millions). A $50K to $100K salary keeps so many people trapped. Imagine how trapped you would feel making millions per year at a CEO job?
"I really want to pursue this other business that society needs, but I get paid millions to do this CEO job that takes up all my time and kills my soul, so - I guess I'll just keep doing it."
So none of you are getting out of bed for $1.2m a month? Guaranteed?
Do you realize that one year in this job and you have f-you money the rest of your life?
Even if your net worth is $5M, if would be hard to turn down tripling your net worth in a year.
Think about how hard it is to start and run a business and then exit for $10m? How long does that take? 3-5 or even 10 years of grinding?
And now you are guaranteed $10M in a single year whether you do good or not. How do you turn this down?
Oh but you have no freedom. One year of hard work vs 3-5 years? Which choice is the one that’s really the sacrificing your time here?
