????如果能混上標普500指數（S&P 500）成份股公司的CEO干干，知道多少天就能賺回你現在的年薪嗎？

????根據市場調研公司GMI對標普500指數成份股公司2010年CEO薪酬的最新研究，即使你只處于這一群體的中游，一年365天的每一天也都能賺上24,473美元。用年薪折算一下，周薪將超過171,000美元，60天薪水更可達到150萬美元。

????當然，假如你長于討價還價，也許還能拿到麥克森（McKesson）CEO約翰?哈姆格倫2010年的數字。他的年薪折成每天大概是398,000美元，工作一周就可拿到280萬美元，60天就能拿到近2,400萬美元。

????拿著這么高的工資，還有什么壓力不能承受嗎？

沒日沒夜地工作

????也許你會擔心干這樣的一份工作，可能一天24小時，一周7天都要埋頭工作。其他什么事都沒時間干了。

????別擔心。你還會有機會做做兼職，賺些零錢。以哈姆格倫（年薪總計1.45億美元）為例，GMI的研究顯示他是2010年薪酬最高的CEO。哈姆格倫除了擔任麥克森CEO，還是惠普（HP）的董事，為此去年獲得了約387,000美元的報酬。作為惠普董事會薪酬委員會的成員，哈姆格倫近年來一直忙于CEO薪酬談判。

????2010年惠普在對時任CEO馬克?赫德展開性騷擾調查后決定讓他走人，為此向赫德支付了1,200萬美元的現金補償和一些股票。若以哈姆格倫2010年的個人薪酬計，這1,200萬美元只相當于30天的遣散費。這是不是很不合理？根據最初協議，赫德還應該獲得價值1,500萬美元甚至更多的股票。但赫德在圍繞他決定加盟甲骨文（Oracle）、擔任聯席總裁一事引發的糾紛中放棄了這部分補償。

????據報道，哈姆格倫后來還自愿加入惠普遴選委員會，幫助選定了赫德的繼任者李艾科。李艾科上任不到一年，去年又遭解職，臨走拿到了約2,500萬美元。聽起來是一大筆錢了吧？其實也只比哈姆格倫2010年的60日薪酬多一點點而已。

????不管怎樣，這一個例子就應當能部分打消你對工作強度的顧慮，因為擔任標普500指數成份股公司的CEO并不意味著要夜以繼日地工作。

投資者不滿？不一定。

????投資者的預期怎么辦？CEO薪酬居高不下，投資者難道不會抓狂嗎？

????If you could bluff your way into an S&P 500 CEO job, how many days would you have to rough it to earn your current annual pay?

????You'd rack up $24,473 per day 365 days a year if you were just middle of the pack, according to a recent GMI study of S&P 500 CEO pay in 2010. Your annual earnings on a weekly basis would be more than $171,000; for 60 days, that'd be a cool $1.5 million.

????Of course, if you were a top negotiator, maybe you'd take home what McKesson (MCK) CEO John Hammergren did in 2010. His daily haul, based on his annual pay, was around $398,000, with a weekly total of $2.8 million and a 60-day payout of nearly $24 million.

????Could you put up with the rigors given those rates?

Working the one job 24/7

????Maybe you're concerned that if you took a job like that, it might engulf your life 24/7. There'd be no time for extracurricular activities.

????Not to worry. You'd have the opportunity to work a part-time job too, earning some pocket change on the side. For example, take Hammergren, who took home the biggest bucks in 2010 ($145 million in total compensation), according to GMI. Beyond serving as CEO of McKesson, he has been a board member at HP (HPQ), which paid him around $387,000 last year. As a member of the board's compensation committee, Hammergren has been busy with CEO pay negotiations in recent years.

????In 2010, when HP showed former CEO Mark Hurd the door following an investigation into his behavior, Hurd was given $12 million cash plus vesting of some stock. Based on Hammergren's own 2010 wages, $12 million would translate to just 30 days severance. Is that so unreasonable? Under the original agreement, Hurd was also entitled to stock valued $15 million or more. He gave that up, though, in the kerfuffle related to his decision to join Oracle (ORCL) as its co-president.

????Hammergren also reportedly volunteered to be on the search committee that identified Hurd's successor, former HP CEO Leo Apotheker. With less than one year of service, Apotheker was ousted last year and walked away with around $25 million. Sound like a lot? That would only amount to slightly more than 60 days severance based on Hammergren's 2010 pay.

????In any event, this one example should ease your mind somewhat. Being a CEO of a major S&P 500 firm does not mean you have to work the one job 24/7.

Cranky investors? Not quite.

????What about investor expectations? With large CEO paydays, aren't investors bound to be snarky?
