This reminds me of an interview I had @ Wikimedia (Wikipedia) a decade+ ago. They offered less than half what I was earning at a startup.

Is that surprising given that Wikimedia is ostensibly a non-profit and was in a much different financial position a decade+ ago?

For what it’s worth I do believe that wikimedia could allocate more of the dollars they have to their “core competencies”

Startups aren't exactly known for good salaries, I expected a comparable salary just without the option grants.

Non-profit doesn't mean bad salaries. I can say that because I work for a non-profit and I can compare my salary with many salaries in the industry through my union.
