I’ve always felt that for many it’s a hedged situation, the ~75k+ salary, networking, and resume bullet points, represents similar or greater compensation than what they might make alternatively.

A C-level position at a YC startup will grant you a 100k+ salary at a YC company that did manage to make it to a series A afterwards even if your company didn’t make it that far.

It’s a self accommodating industry (IMO).

> grant you a 100k+ salary

If you're a developer you can make that anyway, isn't that basically an entry level salary in SF?

I'm very curious how much you can pay yourself as a YC founder after your first round, is there any data on this? Must be more than 75k.
