Around the end of 2021, I got a new job and negotiated a big salary bump for a startup on the basis of my total comp and not base. It wasn't a huge raise total comp-wise (excluding options), but it was all cash./ The company I left tanked recently (more than the market). Thank goodness I did what I did lol.
