I don't know why you didn't just look it up, you were right there. Stripe pays about the same as google if you just consider base+bonus, much more if you consider stock.

Of course it's not a fair comparison because google stock is liquid

We aren’t talking about stripe, we are talking about just post series A companies.

The question is whether it is a no brainer to work for such a company because you get a competitive offer plus lottery tickets.

My sense is that this isn’t true. The claim of competitiveness is setting to zero the value of liquid google RSUs. But I’m open to being corrected.

So to answer bradleyjg's question, you're saying $230k. Which is $100k less than the total Google compensation of $330k.
