#2Am I reading this wrong - out of 8,000 employees surveyed, no-one had more than 1/10th of 1% of equity.
That's a nice pension contribution not an equity share.
If you were in facebook at that level, you might get a house. But really why is that level of equity share of any influence in anyone's hiring equation?
Or am I missing something?

#3So if I moved to SF and work in the same start up that I'm working right now I would be rich by my country standards.

#4I would really appreciate a link to the page with the tool itself instead of to the blog post describing the page with the tool ;-)

You're basically right for the initial display.
But equity is heavily dependent on company size, click on "Company Size" to see it break down. Or "Job Function" == Software Engineer and then click "Company Size".

#7This is actually a pretty interesting tool. Not sure how accurate it is, since its telling me I should be making the same salary I've made at large corporations the last two years.
Based on the interviewing I've been doing, most of the start-ups around here (Midwest) were offering close to 30-40K less than my corporate gigs.

Your rent would go up a lot. But if you are careful about other spending, you can probably save up some money.

On the initial view, only the 40th to 60th percentiles are shown. On subsequent views, only the 25th to 75th percentiles are shown. There are many above those ranges, including some outliers with 3% or more of their company (choose Scientist > Fellow for one example).
Also, according to the Source line at the bottom, executives and founders are excluded from the data set. Getting a large share of equity of a private company is rare for everyone else.

#10So, am I right in assuming that this does not clearly reflect that early stage in development when there are less than 20 people in your company and there are individuals with multiple roles? I understand that there's a 6-20 group in there, but what happens when your software engineer is also your administrator, QA and tech support and your CFO is also your sales developer and sales engineer.
Cool graphs though.
