"Good" = competitive in a fair market. If it's an established company, you can/should use salary.com for ballparks on what is competitive. If it's a startup, they are often preserving the small capital they have (cash poor), so you're looking at "Ramen" salaries (~$50k) or no salary at all, and bigger chunks of equity. (That equity will be worth zero or something based on your work & your small team's work, & luck.) But, the best benefit is to make your living expenses while learning & saving a bit. The learning part is what most people forget about when picking a job.
