For one, the base salaries and total compensation for non-founder executives, which had grown at a 5% CAGR for the past 9 years, screeched to a halt and had nearly zero growth (for Tech companies). Below is another interesting chart on founder equity for tech companies. I’ve always found this chart amazing to me.

One is that company founders have a significant discount in terms of cash compensation (but obviously a premium in equity). Another point is that the equivalent role in a technology company is compensated at a lower level than in life sciences. The report is then able to give ranges of compensation based on these attributes.

In my role as a CTO, Ive always tried to choose the right tool for the right job. I am CTO of a SaaS vendor, and we use PHP. In fact, the data (www.php.net/usage.php) show that PHP's adoption flattened in the middle of 2005. Given that startups depend on superstars to survive, why stick with PHP? I certainly dont.

I think the real moral of this story is, (1) if you want to work at a startup, make sure the CTO cares about problem solving and not technology religion, (2) if you’re cooking steaks on a gas grill and you see your CTO warming up a dead squirrel over a book of matches, starting looking for a new job.
