I would agree except this was at a hedge fund. There is no stock, but a crappy bonus that requires 3 years vesting. Also, you had to start at 5am, which made taking public transit difficult if not impossible in some locations. So add 1.5 hour one way commutes to a 10-12 hour days, 85k with no stock really wasn't enough to justify basically selling all your time for little upside. They also used Java. The one thing that would have made it manageable was to be able to live nearby in the city (with savings) so I drew the line at 100k.
