Worth noting that sometimes this is not “We will not tell you.” it is simply “I don’t have that information.” A fair response is: “OK, table that question for the moment, but I’d appreciate you asking your CFO for it. You have my email address; they have those numbers.” https://twitter.com/chrisalbon/status/1188317041737945089 …

And, how do you read companies which are upfront that they don't negotiate salaries or compensation during hiring (not refreshes or annual reviews)? And, is that stance even amenable?

I think that messaged stance is unlikely to be descriptively accurate. Possibly they believe it, and would describe the process by which they’d pay more for a favored candidate to be something other than “negotiation.”

Do you have advice for getting information about liquidation preferences and ratchet conditions without just verbal or email confirmation?
-
Not clear to me what you’re going to get there other than verbal or written confirmation about what you’re asking about. Do you think they’re going to share their actual investment docs? Virtually no candidate asking to see those is competent to read them.

Could you please explain more about what this tweet means?
-
A negotiating position is something that one says because one has an objective in a negotiation. It's not instrumentally useful to think of them as true or false in the same way that the claim that the moon is made of cheese is true or false.

Yes — but it’s a red flag if you have to go above the recruiting / HR org to get the information.
-
Sometimes you still go for it though because it’s just that department that is not great
