> I'm confident on the startup I chose will grow big

Just a word from hard-earned experience here...

Most startups will fail and any options you get will be worthless. It's just a cold fact of life.

Be optimistic, be hopeful, be excited about the possible future of the startup you're in -- but do not arrange your life or plans so they depend on the success of the startup. It might be the next big thing for sure, but the odds are much larger that it won't.
