> (that asking about salary is a 'red flag' in our process)

In my comment above I did not call it a "red flag". My specific wording was "somewhat of a negative signal". That seems consistent with what you said about judging someone for asking about a well-known aspect of the company because it signals they haven't done enough research.

It also dodges the question that keeps getting asked: Does everyone receive the same equity compensation as well? As far as I can tell, that question is not answered on your website. Asking it seems like fair game.

The person I was responding did, you are right that you did not.

> It also dodges the question that keeps getting asked:

This question gets asked in every thread about this, nobody is trying to dodge anything. The equity portion is variable, and the salary is identical. We do not do bonuses.
