It's possible the OP negotiated for more salary and less equity.

Sure, but it's not really plausible that the junior ones did the opposite and are still really upset to hear what the senior person's making.

Also, I think very few companies have lots of latitude with equity. I've seen plenty of double offers (higher-salary/lower-equity and then visa-versa, take your pick) but very few of them have a super big swing. Most shops (rightfully) have a particular bent in terms of the type of risk they want their folks to be taking.

Anyways, yeah. I'll stick with my bet that the company, the senior person, and the HR person are all entities that you should stay far away from.
