Salary of CPO, SVP product

Hi, what are some average salary of CPO, Head of Product, SVP of Product at mid to late stage startups? I understand it will be a mix of cash + equity. What are those levels?

3-4 Cr cash (fixed + variable) + ESOPs

Did u take any drugs? U must be day dreaming. See the Founders salaries report by Inc42 to get an estimate of Startup Founder salary and their startup valuation.

Also, without any knowledge don't post numbers that might give false expectations to the community

I agree. Though founders initially keep their cash component low as they are already loaded with equities.

Definitely 1-2 cr in cash component, at least for a unicorn startup. And the ESOP component can easily range >3cr

** Juz to add assuming the CPO/svp has already spent ~5 yrs with the org

At my company (fortune 100 retail) , a senior product director earns around 1.5 cr. Around 1.1 fixed and the remaining is variable. VP and above would obviously earn more. But 4-5cr as per one of the comments seems too high

1-3 cr cash + 1-2X in yearly esops
