Definitely true for sales folks at B2B companies- total comp can sometimes eclipse CEO when adding commission. My piece is focused on salary, not commission, cash bonus, and equity. Surely, a more complete picture of total comp is more valuable, but the scope of the piece was just focused on salary.

Then I think the article should explicitly point out that salary is only a piece (and perhaps not the largest piece) of total cash comp. Otherwise it is very misleading to the naive reader.

check the bottom, italicized portion of the piece. notes that the piece only focuses on one portion of compensation.
