You have more leftover than I make as a senior software engineer at a unicorn startup in Palo Alto. lol FML...

  I cut my total comp in half to move to a startup. That's just the price you pay. If you've worked in both environments, you know what you prefer. I don't think I'd go back to the other one. The only thing I miss is that there's a lot of diversity in bigger companies you don't find in startups. Here, everyone is like me :D

    I wasn't taking an option. I just never got an offer from a public tech company. Not from a lack of trying - mind you! I'm pretty confident if I was making 2-3x what I am now - I would stay with that. As it stands - I cannot afford to continue living in silicon valley on this current salary.
