I just got a bunch of offers from the valley. Here are some numbers:

3 big named, 10-40 people, post-A companies offered 100K-130K salary, and about 0.15%-0.2% equity.

One stealth, seed-funded company in which I would be a funding team member, offers 1%-3% equity with correspondent salary.

I plan to work in a startup first, learn while figuring out my visa situation (I am Canadian), and eventually have my own.
