How much equity is everyone getting as a high level senior developer/architect?
I just joined a 20 person pre-Series A company with a lot of traction and revenue and felt my equity offer was a little low. I don't want to reveal too much because I use my real identity on this site but it was under 1%. What have you been getting?

Typical sizes of option pools are 10-20%, of which earlier employees tend to get more than later ones. To be person 20 and get more than 1% is unlikely, at least as an IC. I'd recommend reading this guide on equity compensation: https://github.com/jlevy/og-equity-compensation
They outline typical equity levels under "Typical Employee Equity Levels"
