Deep dives

The Value of Risk in Compensation

Compensation is heavily influenced by the level of risk one is willing to take. Individuals who own businesses often receive disproportionate compensation because they assume significant risks that employees typically do not. When transitioning from a business owner to an employee, many fail to recognize that the risk associated with their previous role is a major factor in their compensation. Thus, expecting the same salary while reducing risk is unrealistic, as compensation must align with the risk one takes.
