Most startups can't match G/FB on cash, but they can do much better than they are on equity amounts, equity terms, work-life balance, etc.

For example, what is the option exercise window if you leave Lambda?

They can do better on equity, but they absolutely no longer do. My last startup was acquired for $1.1B. The founder walked away with $400M, and the average engineer (there were 60 of us) received less than $100k each for 4 year grants.
