in my experience earlier last decade startups use to pay a base salary that was higher than base of big tech companies for similar bands. ie a startup might pay 170k whereas google might pay 130 base and 40k rsu (edit: referring to swe and management positions) now the situation is complete opposite, startups still paying 170k but big tech paying 200 base, 200 rsu, 100k signing bonuses 15% bonuses across the whole organization no bullshit carrot and a stick approach, and these are conservative numbers for illustration purposes only can your series a and established mid sized companies compete? even if realities meant doubling the capital raise size, this messes up valuation norms, what do you think? tc: 0
Many can compete on base + bonus, but not on stocks
