In startup world tech leaders earn 80% higher than the rest

Tech and product leaders in startups are pulling ahead in the pay scale, while CFOs are increasingly being evaluated on their ability to secure funding, according to the latest Total Rewards Benchmarking (TRB) report by xto10x. The report says that pay disparity is driven by the growing importance of engineering, product, design, and data science roles, which can command up to 80% higher compensation than HR, marketing, and finance counterparts.
