What is the Status of Compensation for Privately Held Companies? 

J.Thelander Consulting hosted a Private Company Compensation Panel Webinar where we took a deep dive into compensation trends and shared a preview of the results from our Year-End Merit Increase, Option Pool & Bonus Survey. In case you missed it, you can view the recording below along with some of the key takeaways.

Key findings from the webinar included:

  • There is a higher rate of crossover of talent between life science companies and tech companies than previously seen in the past. It’s a competitive talent market and the industry serves as less of a barrier. 
  • We added new questions to the survey this year – asking:
    • Do you have a recession plan in place? (79% of participants answered “No”)
    • Are you planning on freezing hiring due to a potential recession? (98% of participants answered “No”)
    • Are you planning on laying off staff due to a potential recession? 
  • In 2022, median total cash by region increased for CEOs in the Mid-West and Pacific Northwest. 
  •  In 2022, total cash was greater for CEOs in the biotech industry than for CEOs in non-biotech industries.
  • Data shows that women take less total cash and have higher equity than men in their same respective industries.
