I've been in different startups for practically 20 years now. Don't go into it thinking you're going to be a bazillionaire from options. Get options, but get paid too. You'll have a lot of fun, you'll work ridiculous hours, you create great things, you will push yourself and learn a lot, you'll make lifelong friends, and you'll cry when they tank. But overall you'll not regret it.
