As per the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), a report in 2023 said that the average compensation to association CEOs amounted to over 10 months of base pay is being 8.2 median.

So, according to that, the yearly base salary of Byron comes to $500,000 and monthly $41, 666.

In a post on LinkedIn, the software startup confirmed the news of his resignation. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted," the statement released on Saturday reads. “As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met," it added.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin also issued a hilarious statement amid the fiasco. He said, “How we’re going to do that is we’re going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.”
