Are salaries generally higher at big companies (google/twitter/fb) or at startups?

  statistically bigger companies will pay bigger salaries. Personally I am appalled at many of the SF startup salaries

    Appalled in what sense? That they offer you to little or that engineers there are making way too much? I'd guess the former, but I'd say it could go both ways…

  You'd expect salaries at startups to be lower, but they often include equity.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Equity which has a pretty good chance of being totally worthless, even if you're lucky enough not to work for a company that will screw over its shareholding employees, like Skype did.
