You’re mostly stuck at liquid comp of $180-220k tops. Obviously if the startup works out, hallelujah. But if it doesn’t - that salary sucks for trying to have a home in a nice school district along with some normal vacations and what not.

Do you mean "in SF, where the cost of living is extremely high", or are you suggesting that you can't have a comfortable life on $180k/year?
