What is the Typical President's Salary?
Measuring the median President Salary by Years Experience reflects industry standards for these upper-level, private sector executives - salaries start out relatively high and go up from there. As PayScale's president salary data shows, it's not uncommon for a president who has at least 20 years of experience to earn a median salary of over $200,000. Many presidents will earn much more depending on the industry, company size, location and other factors. For some smaller businesses, president and CEO are equivalent positions, while in larger companies the president may report to the chief executive officer. Comparing president salaries to CEO Salaries reveals a slightly higher median salary range for CEO positions based on similar levels of experience. Both president and CEO positions involve high levels of responsibility, leadership, strategic planning and business management. Business experience is generally crucial for these positions, and it's not uncommon for a president or CEO to also have earned a Master of Business Administration Degree. To see how presidents' salaries vary in different industries - from manufacturing to insurance - view the President's Salary by Industry report.

President - (City withheld for privacy), California, United States
Going from working from medium-sized emloyers to working for myself, I lament the fact that I didn't do enough to keep in touch with the people I had worked with during my time employed at a larger organization. Being in better touch while at my larger companies would have helped me greatly in starting my own business. Do more than just save people's names & email addresses - find excuses, ANY excuse, to reach out on a quarterly basis.
