At that level, its more about package than salary, so you'll have a basic salary of say £200,000, plus bonus, plus car allowance (a few hundred to a few thousand pounds per month at our company), share options, work from home allowance, healthcare, life insurance, pension conts of around 25% of salary, plus role/industry specific perks such as private club membership and clothing allowance etc..

You need to be very specific.

I’m at that level and don’t get most of that. Big basic and bonus but pretty much nothing else on your list. Really weird you think it’s the same everywhere.

Agree Tort, I'm not at that level (far from it) but I'm in a global (30000+ staff) company and I get over half on that list.

You’d need to be careful about the 25% pension - it’s very possible by that stage you’ll have hit your lifetime allowance and if that’s the case, the pension contributions from your employer will land you with a heavy tax bill. It amazes me how inflexible some companies are over this. Some of the so called perks are an awful waste of money, unless of course as big firm they can negotiate a great deal - much better to give employees the choice of cash equivalent or perk, imo.
