Absolutely. Ask for equity in exchange for reduced comp.

Depends. Research the competition and look at how often they have funding rounds. Generally fewer is better but check Crunchbase for an overview. Board members are usually a good hint at stability too.

Also depends if you mind working in a totally different work environment. Big agencies really spoil you with resources.

Stop shaming people for leaving on time. Working overtime every nite benefits no one if you’re exhausted. It’s not a badge of honor either. Work on your time management skills.
