Account Executive vs Technical Support: which pays more?
The median for Account Executive is $152,500 per year (typically $107,500–$233,100), versus $102,900 for Technical Support ($73,000–$138,750). That puts Account Executive about 48% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Account Executive and Technical Support are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
