Bangalore becoming too expensive for Startups ?

Startups have a tough time recruiting talent. The only real benefit that they have to offer an engineer is stocks. You would think that thats very good, and that should incentivize people enough to join startups, especially those who believe in what you are trying to do. (This is what I believed in when I joined a startup)

Those numbers came from thin air.

But I dont think they are unrealistic.

You could arrive at similar figures like this:
6 * 1.5 * 1.48 * 1.3 * 1.3 * 1.2 * 1.15 * 1.12 * 1.1 = 38.2

Which definitely seem realistic & I know of folks who have achieved the 1st 4 years that ways .. the remaining 4 years are almost a given & if you add a job-hop thats a 20-40% increment out of turn
