i’m trying to get a better picture of the current market
if you’re a full stack engineer with around 9 years of experience working at a startup in the US or Canada
what’s your base salary (uncomfortable say something less than or give some hint)
not counting equity or bonus
just hoping to gather some insights from the community
appreciate anything you’re comfortable sharing

First off, tech salaries vary wildly between cities. Between the US and Canada you will also find much different salaries
Startups in particular are difficult to analyze because they might have very different resources and funding
Often startups that don't have a lot of funding will offer equity in exchange for a lower base salary. Well funded startups may offer higher salaries, but probably offer less equity
My advice is to pursue jobs you want to have and see what they offer you. If you are still excited to work for them after you hear the number, go for it.
