Starting engineering salaries at startups tend to be in the 80-100k range (sometimes higher).

Is this true? My impression is that they're often lower, with the lower figures compensated for with equity.

The word "startup" gets thrown around a lot in Silicon Valley, e.g. I was an intern at a company with over 50 employees that had millions of users and had been profitable for several years that still called itself a startup.
