I agree with this. I work at a well-funded startup, but despite the funding, most of us are working for below market wages. I'm employee 22 and my options are about 0.02% of outstanding shares.
It's disappointing to me to see so much disparity between the compensation for C-level and VP-level versus engineering. Without engineering, there would be no product to sell and nothing for investors to invest in. Ideas are nice, but implementation is hard.
