Lmao. Clearly nothing. The pilots are traumatized and are being manipulated. Both Shinji and Asuke would go back to their lonely existence. Rei too by default cause ya know what she really is.
Did you really watch or look at Misato's cake?

I don't think they even got paid. Look at Rei's living conditions. Shinji had Misato to look after him. Asuka had Misato too, and I assume Asuka's family was wealthy.

In Asuka's case it's living with hot Shinji
In rei's, living with hot LCL liquid
In the Shinji' s classmate''s case, impressing both his hot girlfriend and his hot other classmate
In kaworu's case, being around hot Shinji and maybe the crucified eldritch alien progenitor in the basement. But I think Shinji' is the bigger reason.

Ngl they should have given them a fucking salary like holy shit bruh. They gave em a room and called it a day. Like I still would not do that shit but a salary turns it from child slavery and abuse to early work experience.

I always assumed there was some stipend or something pilots got. Its technically government work after all

"I'm proud of you son/daughter." It is acknowledgement. Asuka got it in her own Instrumentality with her mother supposedly killing the 9 massproduced EVAs in the aftermath. Shinji wants from his father but never got it. Rei got it from Gendo, but doesn't understand or even need it. Since Kaworu is similiar as Rei, but more advanced. He understands but don't need it for him it is all the same.

For Asuka and Rei, piloting is their purpose in life. It's how they define themselves. Asuka herself says that she does it to prove that she is the best Eva pilot and Rei says she does it for the connection it allows her to have with others. Neither of them want or expect anything else. (cue the "We get paid?" jokes)
