I would say the 'market rate' for the big tech cos cannot be applied to the financial analysis of hiring in startups because most startups have cash burn, and big tech is profitable. If you somehow negotiate a startup to pay you a google like salary you probably won't have much fun because you will be viewed as an even riskier hire than you were to begin with. There will be even more pressure to perform than there already was.
