Hey stephenr,
This is pretty common for some of the larger tech companies. While some Bay Area startups do pay a bit less in exchange for equity, it's still tough getting talent given all the competition.
For startups, I think the key is to really stay as lean as possible before hiring at all.
- Adamantcheese 8y agoSalary varies highly based on location and should not be a result of your quiz to determine your engineer level.

- tntn 8y agoWhy? When rent/mortgage is easily upwards $35k and taxes are upwards of another $30k, that doesn't leave the employer with a ridiculous amount of money.
- stephenr 8y agoTaxes are reflective of income. Less pay = less tax. Ridiculous house prices are reflective of ridiculous hiring/salary practices. Your “solution” created its own problem.
