Considering you cherry picked that and skipped over how I know animators making a significant increase outside of the industry doing similar work makes it clear you're not really interested in a discussion here.
I leave my comments as is, anyone advocating for crunch has no place it any part of the tech industry, full stop.
- Retric 9y agoI have not been advocating crunch. If I was trying to convince you it was a good idea I would say you're expenses are already paid, so a little extra money at 22 can quickly snowball. A little suffering now is an easy ticket to retire by 45. But, again I am not saying it's a good idea as general practice. Just that it's not nessisarily irrational behavior. That said, you seem to be ignoring what I have actually said in favor of your own personal rage. I suspect you would be happier setting that aside.
- 220V_USKettle 9y agoSo, you retired at 45?
- Retric 9y agoI am not 45 :) I do know 3 people who did by working insane hours in their early 20's. Less time to spend money + more money makes saving 50+k per year after taxes viable. None of them kept working those hours for that long but compound interest works much faster with a larger nest egg. Now, they used a second job to get there, but having your boss pay you for extra time also works.
