Define "small paycut." Mid level engineers at FB and its ilk are pulling in 400k+ including RSUs and bonus. You'd be hard pressed to get even a very senior position at a small startup that pays even half that in real cash.

Let's say 20-30% discount on salary and potentially a bigger equity upside than a big CO. I haven't seen startup giving out cash bonuses.

Heh... Potentially bigger upside, but 99.9999999999% chance they're worth nothing. So, risk adjusted, more than a 50% paycut.

No thanks.
