 An interesting article in TechCrunch discussed the compensations of the head executives in expansion stage technology companies. According to a CompStudy research completed by J. Robert Scott and Ernst & Young, 2009 will be the first in ten years when CEO pay at these private tech companies will not increase.

Nevertheless, we should not feel terribly bad about these CEOs as the average annual compensation for the position will stay around $230,000. Also, the average bonus for 2009 is expected to be similar to the one in 2008 and range around $61,000. The research is based on survey of 500 expansion stage technology companies, mostly with fewer than 75 employees.
