If you got an offer bumped up by 2.5x, was the original one above your current comp? If it was below, then it was a total low-ball, but if it was above, it follows that you tolerated being underpaid at your job. By maybe a factor of 3. Are you sure you are in a position to give salary negotiation advice?

The original offer was about 50% above my current comp.

Sure I was underpaid, but that's life working for a startup run by a friend.

After this situation, I heard of several situations where this company generally starts low and can go high.
