Got it! Given those criteria, my personal feeling is that it would only be possible in Silicon Valley, New York, or Seattle, but it may not be that base salary is at least $200k for senior-level. Moreso that the total compensation would be, particularly in a startup that hasn't gone public yet because the value of the company is speculative.
