Re:Big Company vs. Startup Work and Compensation

After college,
2 years of startup @ $90k, worthless stock (one of the first employees), long hours. Learned a lot, but definitely underpaid in stock.
FB @ 2014 - $230k/yr = $150k base + $50k stock / yr + $30k bonus.
FB @ 2015 - $480k/yr = $200k base + $200k stock / yr + ~$80k bonus.
Getting into the senior levels at FB/GOOG does indeed get you 250k+ easy.
Friends at FB who joined the same day as me, but fresh out of college: $200k+ / yr right now.
