Executive Comp. Series Part II: Compensation Strategies for Senior Leaders

Episode notes

We are pleased to present a special three-part series on executive compensation through our Get Hired Up! podcast. In this series, we bring together three highly respected experts, each offering a distinct perspective: Part I: Scott Calderwood shares the executive recruiter’s perspective, including how compensation discussions unfold during retained search and the mistakes candidates often make. Part II: Ezra Singer explains how executives can negotiate offers, severance, and employment agreements while preserving important relationships. Part III: Mary Russell demystifies stock options, equity, and the legal and tax implications of startup and private company offers. Together, these conversations provide a practical and unusually transparent look at one of the most important—and frequently misunderstood—aspects of executive career transitions.
