Do most startups now give you an option slider between base / stock before making an offer?
I've noticed that almost every post Series A startup now gives me an option for how much stock options I want vs cash. I can choose base heavy salary or I can choose more stock and less salary. I actually care a bit less about salary so I'm inclined to choose more stock.
Can I negotiate in this case since the ratio might be fixed? You think it might be possible to ask for the most salary + the most stock? Best of both worlds haha
Interestingly, I feel like it could be cool to get a list of companies that do this because they are likely early stage and have good growth potential

Can’t hurt! The worst they say is no, and then you know you didn’t leave any money on the table. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
