<< If the person taking this job left a sure thing for a risky thing then it comes as no surprise that they demanded far more compensation to take the job and they wanted that compensation up front because the candidates knew that a highly visible failure might essentially end their career and their ability to earn a living. >>
Grace the dot.comers are only a small part of the execute/CEO pay problem. The fact is that CEO pay is not determined by the market value of the CEO but rather by the board. The board is in a lot of cases eating out of the same trough, connected with investment bankers and such. In a lot of cases, the correlation between executive pay and corporate performance is nonexistent and it certainly is no coincidence that executive pay has risen much stronger during the last decade then earnings of any other profession. The problem, IMO is most boards do not fulfill they control function any more, they don't represent shareholder interest but rather pull on the same rope than the CEO to get a bigger share of the companies earnings and equities.
