How to read the executive & leadership pay numbers in Minneapolis, MN

We pulled the $187k median from 23 Minneapolis, MN roles that named a number, a band that stretches from $49k to $500k. That spread is wide on purpose: it covers entry-level seats and senior roles in the same category. Posted figures rarely include equity, which is often the larger part of the package at this level. Treat the salary band as cash compensation only.

Anchor on the median rather than the maximum. A lone executive listing can stretch the upper band, so compare any offer to roles at your actual level before you read too much into the spread. Minneapolis pay tends to move with the local cost of living, so a national average can mislead either direction.
