>What is the total percentage of my stock option plan? (As opposed to just knowing the number of shares).

Good luck asking that question without jeopardizing your hiring process.

10-25% seems too high to me for an options pool. I think market is closer to 7-10% for a Series A company

I always thought ~20%. Founders want smaller pool, investors want larger.
