My first engineering job out of university was 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 3 weeks on 1 week off. And it wasn't even a endeavour I particularly believed in, and it wasnt in a location I particularly wanted to live. I don't regret the time I spent there, and would certainly consider doing something similar again if it was somewhere I wanted to live and something I wanted to do. With a company like Tesla, there is so much talk about the work hours, I don't think anyone can honestly take the job and be surprised they end up working more than 40 hours a week.
