- robryan 10y agoBoth are competing for the same talent. Also in the Let's Encypt case there are no stock options to make up the difference with the big tech companies.
- autotune 10y agoYes but different people have different tastes, and some may prefer a greater and steady base pay over a potential payout at the end that you have to have enough money to pay the tax on beforehand, or when cashed out. Anyway financial prospects aside, some may also prefer the flexibility of making an impact at a smaller company vs working for a bigger one. Same talent, different preferences.
