Hiring a Boeing CEO must be pretty hard right now because whoever takes the job is signing up for some miserable work (like testifying to a hostile congress and dealing with criminal liability on behalf of Boeing), and is likely to be blamed for decades of mismanagement coming to the surface now.

Said another way: I’d demand a lot more in compensation to be CEO of Boeing than NVIDIA (or any other role for that matter).

> because whoever takes the job is signing up for some miserable work

I'm ready to do it for a mere 5 mill/year (less than a sixth of the incumbent), and I'll happily take all the blame for all my predecessor's failings, and more.

Will I do a worse job than the incumbent? Maybe, maybe not, how the hell will anyone know?

Do you mean miserable jobs should be paid more than easy one ? There’s a bunch of position salaries to reevaluate in the world…

boohoo.

I'll take the role for a wildly discounted $20m.

It would be hard to do much worse than the recent incompe .. uh, incumbents.
