Most entrepreneurs I know, myself included, aren't attracted first by money. The ability to make money is a follow-on consequence. $80k isn't even remotely enough to coax away a serious entrepreneur these days. Silicon Valley engineers can make that trivially, and it has done nothing to slow down the formation of startups.

And besides, there's no salary you could ever make that will pay off better than a successful startup will. Know how long it takes to save just $3 million at $100k per year, accounting for taxes?
