I have an offer from an SF startup and would like to evaluate how it is compared to SF market rate at companies like Google, Twitter, Uber etc.
Yoe: 2+ at Microsoft
TC : year1 200k, year 2 onwards 170k.
No paper money.
Thanks!
Although my offer is at a startup, I do want to compare it with larger companies like the ones I mentioned. I want to know how much TC I'd be giving up to work at a startup.

You can not compare TC of a startup vs large company. At an early stage startup for example your TC is mostly equity and not “TC”. Is equity worth something? Maybe or maybe not. The idea of working for a startup is not working for salary but working for equity. Your salary or TC is just enough to get by and it’s nothing meaningful.
That’s pretty good offer. Mine was 160k at a very early stage startup.
