There are significant differences in long-term compensation depending on the ownership and governance of a company. For example, public company executives are almost universally offered stock options, but rarely offered phantom stock or performance shares. Private companies differ considerably depending on whether they are PE or VC backed, on the one hand, or otherwise privately help (which includes family businesses) on the other.
