I'm an infrastructure guy. I interviewed with a fairly well known startup in Mountain View. I was making $120K in Chicago, and was offered $110K to move to Mountain View/San Jose.

In what world is that an intelligent choice, when you can make $ITMONIES somewhere where the cost of living isn't going to eat you alive.

$110k plus equity, right? If you got an offer from an established public company, the salary portion of the compensation package would likely be much higher.

Very little equity. Not worth the salary differential.

You should assume that any equity you are offerred by a startup has a value of $0 because the odds are that's what you are going to see from it.
