Switch jobs every 3-5 years. VC spread their money over lots of companies. You should do like wise. Falling in love with a company is great but in the the end your a resource to be extracted and disposed of for people with "business acumen". You need to take the same attitude and and make sure the company is in fact giving you your due. Get your equity and get out. If the company is actually showing promise in 3 to 5 year maybe stay but do not ever think the companies success hinges on you being there. It does not. The business end of the business will do everything they can to make sure that is not the case even if it is. Good luck
