Exec compensation is up. Here are a few areas feeling it most.

• The market is at—or near—its highest average comp since we began our tracking.
• That figure is up thanks in large part to significant compensation growth from a COVID-induced local minimum.
• Certain roles are demanding significant premiums right now.
• While the elevated comp levels are being felt across industries, some are more susceptible to higher asks than others.
• While the remote hiring trend has been strong, base comp has not changed much there, leading to a discount on out-of-state hires.
