>Would the average joe/jane, given the offer of a "low" 140K salary at a FAANG, turn it down on ethical grounds?

I mean, I'm pretty average but I did that for a tiny bit more money considering equity at a startup. I think it's not an unreasonable assumption to make if your competing offers are similar, which a lot of people in this position do. I don't think there are many people who only get Facebook offers.

The calculus is different for interns though, on account of the massive signing bonus.
