I feel like organizational headcount could play a role, but I'm not convinced it's the biggest factor. It seems more about the overall strategy than just numbers.

I'm not so sure. The bottom line seems crucial too, especially if a company is struggling financially.

I think the industry it operates in might be the most important factor. Different industries have different compensation norms, right?
