I can almost guess the company from the number of stock options offered. I was in a similar situation, but I accepted the offer and these articles a bit too late :(

I like the experience of working here, but now I totally realize I have lost a significant amount just by not negotiating anything.

What would you have done differently if you had known at that point what you know now?

1. Would've interviewed with other companies - I interviewed with one startup, cleared it and joined it. Never knew that stock options carried so much detail.

2. Would've asked for a better base salary citing all the "ifs" stock options carried with them.
