That’s crazy to me because I had the exact opposite experience. I went in hoping for a certain amount, and they offered me knowing full well what I was hoping for, 20,000 more. Plus all the other benefits like video games and dogs at work. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience with startups except that your job is essentially temporary cuz they will either close or sell
I wish I hadn’t needed to learn these lessons about start ups by working in start ups. I just want to be a mailman or something at this point.

If they offered you 20,000 more than what you expected, might be you are underselling your actual worth and could have negotiated for more.
Or they knew they weren’t going to last more than 1 year, so why not spend all that tasty VC money?
