Found out a male peer hired at the exact same level 6 months after me was making $38k more in base salary. Brought the market data to my 1:1, got matched within 3 weeks. Always compare numbers.

Took an $80k pay cut 3 years ago for 0.4% equity in a 'unicorn'. The company just recapitalized and wiped out all common stock. Cash is king.
