After the two weeks honeymoon phase... Do a routine of 8 hour days that slip into 10 then 12. Five day weeks that then slip into six. For a year straight and learn that amount of energy and effort still aren't guarantees of success. Imagine putting out fires all day every day and learning how to fix things but not having time to fix it properly so you're stuck in a loop of promising to go back and fix it right but just ending up with the problems. Imagine being put in a constant state of anxiety and fear because sales don't turn out, code don't ship, marketing doesn't hit. Meanwhile when you check in on Facebook now and then to see what your friends with the comfortable lives are doing and realize you're missing out. For hard work. That doesn't guarantee anything. Good job getting same pay and equity though. That tells me either you're really good at what you do or the people you work with have no clue what they're doing.
