What's the point of griping about compensation at startups? If you don't like the job offer, don't take it. Work at a big company instead.
If you have a more remunerative job offer from a big grey company and you still take the startup job they're pricing their offer correctly. Hell, they might be offering too much.
- majormajor 11y agoI think you misunderstood. I haven't taken the offers. Were I to feel underpaid at a startup, I'd talk to my boss and/or some recruiters, not to HN. (Nor do you have to got to a huge corporation to find the larger offers.) It's just something to keep in mind when you see "why can't I hire enough good engineers?" posts... not the only reason, by any means, but certainly a reason.
