Leave stable job for startup equity

I'm leaving a stable job for a startup with equity, hoping for a better work-life balance and more fun work.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a lawyer review the equity terms before making a decision."
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your personal values and long-term goals before making a significant career change."
