if you believe that, say, C++ devs earn more than JS devs, it would matter. If you aren't sure and want to find out, it would also matter.
Do specific tech stacks have more earning power though? Which ones?

#23The equity (%) without the actual cash value of the options is basically a vanity number - it does not mean much and is not comparable between the companies.

I think the people replying to my comment misunderstand my intent. If they show the tech stack, people would be able to see if they could apply their same skills for much more money at a specific other company.
Programming language/etc. is typically not a huge factor for high paying jobs. If I’m giving you a lot of money, you’ll learn whatever you need to ASAP.

Whilst I agree equity % alone doesn't give you a picture of the value of those options, what it does communicate is whether it's the kind of company that actually gives out meaningful equity, which is useful information. It tells you if the company is actually serious about making a big exit a life-changing event for all early employees.

#28Where do i see the salary and equity. May be I'm missing something?
Weird I think HN changed the URL. This is the right one: https://topstartups.io/startup-salary-equity-database/
Which basically says "https://topstartups.io contains the same content and should be the preferred URL for this".Re: Open Salary and Equity Database
#29Often inferring the company to be $ or requiring you to add a "State" (which is a US thing primarily, often it's a pre-filled dropdown).
Any chance of at least this one being a bit more wide reaching?
I think levels.fyi is a much stronger implementation of the same concept if it's only US based.

HN did that because the page claims that's the right URL. The header of the page you linked contains Which basically says " https://topstartups.io contains the same content and should be the preferred URL for this".
