> Your survey seems very flawed. It puts an average SRE at 175k yet the CxO's only make 200k.

My guess is the sample of SREs in the survey is biased towards start-ups & big tech (thats were that role is common), where as CEOs samples have less of that bias.

> Are you sure you're not excluding stock based comp in those numbers?

Yes I'm sure! I'm surprised that you're surprised - the average developer does not get stock-based comp because they are not working at big tech or a start up. "Enterprise software" shops & Small-to-medium businesses do not generally offer stock/options to employees
