Thanks for your help! I am certain that they like me -- I mean, I have an official paper offer that I can sign.

It is in Silicon Valley. I haven't disclosed salary history.

I thought they may agree to 100k and 0.2%, and/or I could use that as leverage to ask for more salary instead.

I would be happy with 100k and 0.2%, 120k and 0%, or anything scaled in between.

I had already read that post.
