What explains certain patterns in number of available positions in each salary range for different cities? Look for example on difference in ratios between east and west coasts (compare New York and San Francisco for example). Note: I'm looking at developers' data.

The graphs bother me. Okay, so 61 Python developer positions offer 0.5-1% and 59 offer 0.25-0.5%; presumably 0.5% is more common than 0.49 or 0.51, so where is 0.5 categorized? Which value is inclusive in the range and which is exclusive? Since the graphs tend to be split on relatively common values they don't add much insight to the job postings.

Good point. This is fixed. Ranges are now .25-.4%, .5-.9%, etc. Thanks for the feedback. - mischa @ angellist

Now what about 0.401%?

Kidding :)

According to Glassdoor: Sr. Software Engineer at Google, on average (sample size of 189) make $145K on average with $63K bonus for $200K per annum. So for an average equity of 1.125% for developer (according to angel.co) and average salary of $93K, a startup has to make a non-diluted exit of 8.56 mil on the first year, 17.1 mil on the second year and 25.6 mil in the third year to justify the opportunity cost. Of cour…

And that's assuming your utility function is linear in dollars, which of course it's not.

Ah, I feel like I have been scooped. I have been working on the same thing. Except mine is a scatter plot with all 4,500 jobs at once, so use Chrome. No fancy searching yet. Check it out at http://labs.radiantmachines.com/al/

That is cool, I was thinking of building something similar so I've been doubly scooped. Nice work!

a lot lower than i expected - also would love to see the package (so $150k + .5-1%) distribution.

I question why equity is on a bar chart as it's not a directly comparable attribute. 1% of a 100,000 units is incrementally different from 1% of 10,000 units. It does at least "set a bar", so I could potentially say "well on average 1% of the company for a developer is average."

Of course it's different if you are comparing it to the same scale units. But if you are talking about 1% of the company, it doesn't matter.
