I read on Gabriel Weinberg's recent blog:

"Startups are a long-term game. My best advice is to treat entrepreneurship as a career path, but it is easier said than done absent some amount of success. For me, I had a taste of it three years in and some real success six years in." http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/2013/05/on-the-cusp-of-something-big.html

For this sentence: "I had a taste of it three years in and some real success six years in." Could anyone explain to me howHow does the grammar of "in" worksin work here? Thanks!:
I had a taste of it three years in and some real success six years in.

"...three years in." What does it mean when placing 'in' at the end of a sentence?
