This presumes all private companies allow for you to get equity, which may well not be true.
In this case I disagree
I worked for the gubmint, even though I was very eccentric it came out well ( I now have passive income from them it takes a constitutional amendment to kill) .
Once you're a "perm" ( permanent employee) you have to practically deliberately fuck up to get fired. They have to write you up again and again, offer you training
to help you improve, and only then can they fire you.
The big thing if you're not at all Alpha and are kind of weird in some way, it doesn't matter it 's not at all grounds for dismissal, at least where I worked.
Just get used to stupid redundant procedures which can't be changed, ever.
The big thing is they NEVER tried to get me to work more than 40 hours a week, and enjoying life is STILL hard working 40 hours a week.
