Here’s a snapshot of the findings for Customer Success professionals from the report, and for salaries you can download the full report here...
Salary & bonus

Interestingly, of all the areas covered in the report, those working in Customer Success roles were the only ones to consider company culture the most important factor when weighing up a job offer, more important than the salary and bonus on offer.
