Need advice on how to best negotiate this:

Offer from Startup A for TC 120k, however I don’t think I’ll enjoy the work and there were some big red flags in interviews with the founders.

I much prefer Startup B in terms of work/ company structure but their offer was TC 100k (w’ chance of up to 20% performance bonus).
Main reason for not hitting 120k is my YOE is only 2.

Catching up with them on Tuesday regarding salary, but over email they didn’t seem receptive when I asked for a number closer to 120k.

What’s the best way to negotiate around YOE limiting base salary? Will this damage my relationship with my hiring manager if I continue to ask during the call?

Would it be a viable ask to decrease stock options me in exchange for TC of $110k?

Current TC: 75k
YOE: 2
