Chief of Staff Association Releases 2022 Compensation Report
New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – December 8, 2022) – The Chief of Staff Association (CSA) has released the findings of the first compensation report reviewing remuneration packages of one of the world’s fastest-growing professions.
Chief of Staff Executive Education Programme, University of Oxford
The findings show $185,000 per annum is the average compensation of chiefs of staff. It also found 30% of chiefs of staff earn $250,000 or more, and the highest-paying sector is healthcare and pharmaceuticals, where the pay averages $245,000.
The Chief of Staff Association commissioned the survey in the third quarter of 2022, with 244 members participating. CEO Trent Smyth said, “We commissioned the broadest and deepest compensation report to gather data specific to this profession. At the CSA, we want to raise the profile of the chief of staff role and ensure it is well understood, represented, and recognised.”
The position is often misunderstood despite the fact it has long been established in the military and political offices and is now growing rapidly across major corporations and not-for-profit organisations. The research revealed: “One in three respondents said they are unsure if they are fairly compensated, which speaks to the very point of the report. This report helps our members to gauge better whether or not they are remunerated appropriately,” said Trent.
UK chief of staff Rodney Leon believes the number of roles is expanding due to pressures in the workplace: “I think the popularity of the chief of staff role is, in large part, due to the ever-increasing complexities that c-suite executives are required to deal with. I believe leadership can be a lonely endeavour, and the appointment of a chief of staff could be due to the adage, a problem shared is a problem halved.”
Fellow CSA member Peter Norton agrees: “A good chief of staff can provide another pair of hands, eyes and ears as well as extra brain capacity to reduce a leader’s overall cognitive load. When things are working well, and the executive and chief of staff have perfected the ‘no touch pass’ the two can add up to far more than the sum of their parts.”
Despite many CSA members performing the chief of staff role, not all hold the chief of staff title, which is proving costly. Survey respondents with a “chief of staff” job title received significantly higher compensation than those without the title, earning $191,700 on average against $159,600 respectively.
Education is also a factor with the average compensation for chiefs of staff who finished only high school at $124,000. The compensation then goes up to $174,000 for a bachelor’s degree, $190,000 for a master’s, and an average of $243,000 for doctorate degree holders.
The survey found those in North America earn more with an average remuneration package of $198,300, compared to $147,400 for respondents outside of the region. Industry data was also collected revealing the average compensation for chiefs of staff in pharmaceutical companies averaged $245,800, followed by the financial sector at $222,000, information technology at $209,600, and “others” at $206,800. Chiefs of staff in the education and non-profit sectors earn an average of $140,700, while business development roles (consulting, marketing, public services, and human resource) earn $138,400 annually.

Exverse, a free-to-play game bringing a fresh take on AAA first-person-shooters to Web3, announces the launch of its native $EXVG token on ByBit, a top-three crypto exchange by volume with over 20 million users. The ByBit launch will be followed by spot listings on the MEXC and Gate exchanges. Ahead of its full alpha launch in mid-May, Exverse hosted a soft-launch tournament for 5,000 early registrees on April 15 with cash rewards for top performers.
During the last bull run, Web3 games rose to prominence under the play-to-earn mechanism that made games like “Axie Infinity” so popular. As this model became widely replicated, many of these blockchain-based games prioritized the crypto elements at the expense of the actual game aspects. This trend could be seen in practice by many titles opting to undergo a token launch before even having a working demo, disincentivizing developers to build a quality game, and leaving users with no ecosystem or functioning game to play and spend or the native currency in.
With Exverse approaching its full launch, players can earn $EXVG by performing well while using the native token to enter matches, purchase premium items, and more. The $EXVG token builds on Exverse’s extensive beta and serves as the ecosystem’s currency while the game’s community witnessed a 20 percent growth in verified signups within a month. Supporting Exverse in their token launch are prominent launchpads and incubators that include Seedify, ChainGPT, and GameFi.
To build momentum for its upcoming alpha launch in mid-May, Exverse showcased its game by holding an exclusive deathmatch-style tournament for 5,000 early wait listers on April 15. The five-day tournament, which took place on the game’s ‘Battle Planet,’ gives players a chance to demonstrate their skills and win rewards via stablecoins and tokens. With $50,000 in total up for grabs, the top 100 performers earned at least $200. Top five finishers earnings were dispersed accordingly:
1st place: $4,000
2nd place: $2,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th and 5th place: $1,000
Built using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, Exverse utilizes blockchain technology to strike a balance between enjoyable, realistic, and immersive real-time gameplay. The game prioritizes skill over pay-2-win mechanics, enabling players to earn rewards by staking tokens before a season’s kickoff. Top performers receive a share of profits from in-game NFTs such as cosmetics and skins.
To support the ecosystem’s development, expansion, and growth while rewarding the team and its early supporters, 400 million $EXVG will be minted.
“We are extremely excited about our token launch and proud to work with a great partner like ByBit to make it happen,” says Fei Ooi Hoong, CEO of Exverse. “We worked tirelessly to develop a diverse, engaging, and intuitive first-person shooter capable of revolutionizing how the public views blockchain-based gaming. Our talented team tapped into its background in traditional gaming to develop a rich and immersive gaming experience and then strategically implemented the NFT elements and in-game economics to enhance the user experience.”
