sigh... Europe does not stand a fucking chance!

What does this article have to do with Europe? I know First Round is based in SF, but they don't state where the startups are located - the only mention of the US is when comparing demographics of the workforce with the US itself.

So 10% of startups give out more than 1% of equity to a mid-level engineer ? Perhaps this is a small sample, but it sounds odd.

What I mean is, Europe generally does not even come close to that level of pay/compensation. So I assumed that these are US based startups. I could be wrong though.

Is it odd that so few of them do ?

I would have thought that 1% is only for a first engineer, or an R&D manager and such. But perhaps things are changing, as candidates know how to ask the right questions.
