Is it normal for partners to get equity if they're with the company for a long time?

This is a 5 year old firm with 10 employees currently. If you go from Analyst to Partner in 10-15 years, do you think it'd be crazy to ask for equity? Currently I'm taking slightly under market analyst pay at a MFO with a very high growth rate and it's hard to see friends at 80-160k+ IB salaries all the time. The only reason it's worth saying at a small high margin firm is for that equity imo. Any thoughts or advice? CEO loves me
