Startups, which used to take around $8 million and six months of work to launch, increasingly demand only tens of thousands of dollars and a few weeks of time to get off the ground.

Technology has made it easier to establish startups, and with increased entrepreneurial options come attractive opportunities for job seekers looking to abandon the traditional corporate model. While passion and dedication should drive employees to excel at their positions and add value to their companies, salary is clearly a great motivator but the approach to compensation is often quite different at a startup versus at a more established company.
