So the first developer was there for a little over a year before I was. And worked for free for a little bit of that. I'm assuming that developer has a solid amount of options. If anything the cofounders just gave that developer stock outright.

0.2% is the total. I have approximately a third of that 0.2% right now.

I would consider I am missing out on about double my current salary. Not to boast but I could definitely reach ~80k no problem.

One of the wisest people I know said, you never get a raise unless you have another job offer in hand.

Seed salary is usually 65-80% of salary at a well-funded startup. You're getting 50%.

Read Ramit Sethi's stuff on how to negotiate this.
