What are founding engineers getting paid?

Question

Obviously this will very wildly, but it seems like something has changed in this landscape over the last 5-10 years. It used to be common knowledge that founders/founding engineers would take a measly salary in exchange for significant equity.But some recent anecdata has me questioning if this is true anymore (seeing $200k+ salary plus equity in some cases).So, anybody have any insight? What's the market like for experienced founding/early engineers right now?

I think due to the increase of VC and incubators, startups are able to raise a hug e amount of money in a short period of time where engineers #5-10 can earn a decent salary + equity (100K USD base salary). In my own case, I earned $140K net + 0.1% equity as dev#15
