Evolution of Compensation Structures in Investor Relations
In this episode, Peter addresses common questions concerning the evolving structure and setup of compensation in investor relations. He explains the typical components of compensation for publicly traded companies, which include a base salary, bonus, and equity.
Peter highlights the creativity companies employ in equity vesting schedules and the yearly increases in base salary and bonuses in alignment with other finance leadership roles. He expresses his preference for equity to be part of the total rewards package as a means to build long-term wealth and invest in the investor story.
