Are you able to have a life outside work? How many hours do you work in a typicaly day/week ?

  Yes. I probably work about 45-60 hours in any given week. I have a family that I see for breakfast and dinner every day, and spend all day with most weekends. All-in-all, I work less, and have a far better work-life balance than I did a few years ago, when working for the small company. In that company, I had sole responsibility for an entire product area, and often worked over 80 hours per week. As an afterthought, I actually worked far less at Google. Probably about 45 hours a week. It was like a vacation. Being a cog in a machine and not on-call 24/7 was refreshing and enormously freeing after years of constant pressure.

    Do you mind sharing your contact details? I literally burned out by working at a SmallCo (24x7 on-call) and developed multiple diseases due to stress and unhealthy sleep patterns. I'm currently rehabilitating (from an unrelated surgery) and thinking of getting back into the game.
