Ignore stock options. Unless whatever they call options - can be sold for cash (possibly after vesting) in an opened market. If not - consider it's $0 value. Re-compare everything afterwards. $10k signing bonus is not a biggie compare

I think it's meaningless. Employees with "equity" options will: 1. Get diluted with every VC round (oh, but value of our company is increased so you potentially own more in dollars!) 2. Left in a dark about preferred shares s

My future boss read my blog post and sent me email. Email went to spam folder. Once a week i checked spam folder and found that email. 3 months later I moved from Canada to USA and the rest is history :)

Yes, 100%. Just click on a lock icon in browser and drill down. Eventually you'll see the weirdness that Google certificate (as well as Linkedin and some others) are issued by BlueCoat or something like that. Big banks do that.
