From the linked Fred Wilson article: Let’s say that you want to hire a top software engineer and are competing with equity grant offers from Facebook and Google where the value of the grant is $1mm. Do Facebook and Google really offer engineers a million dollars worth of stock? For what level of engineer? Vesting over what period? Do other big tech companies offer similar amounts? As a London-resident developer (who doesn't work for a hedge fund), i'm used to salaries here being considerably lower than in Silicon Valley, but if that number is on the mark, the difference in stock options is even bigger.
