Do CEO's salary vary by the industry in which they work?

Question

I mean if one CEO is working in a financial firm and other is working in a beverage or say entertainment industry, is there a big difference in their salaries?

Answer 1

A CEO's salary will definitely vary depending on the industry in which he or she works. For example, here's a chart showing the median salary of a CEO by industry: http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=... According to this chart, the software industry currently offers the highest CEO salary while the healthcare industry offers the lowest CEO salary. Of course, other factors also affect a CEO's salary - location, experience, company size, etc. To find more accurate salary data on the salary of a CEO in a specific industry, you can take the free salary survey at PayScale.com. http://www.payscale.com/?src=yahooA
