Dude. Read your article - RSUs - that's where you're quoting $2M from and that requires committment from employees over the vesting period. It's not straight cash in your checking account every month.

Employees, not executives, making $2M base?? I'm in tech and I call total bullshit on that figure. I've seen the Compensia data and that's at least C-Level. And at that career stage, you're working with select executive search firms, not random recruiters and startups.
