As someone who is working 70 hours a week and whose girlfriend just broke up with him because she wants to settle down, it's non-existent currently compared to every day before.
- itamarst 8y agoPro tip: Don't work 70 hours a week. Beyond the impact on your social life, it also makes you a less effective worker (http://www.igda.org/?page=crunchsixlessons http://www.igda.org/?page=crunchsixlessons), so it's really not good for _anything_. Seriously. Don't do this.
- muzani 8y agoAny decent startup tries to build a product faster than a Google team could. Sometimes your main advantage over a ten man elite team is the willingness to work harder.
- farseer 8y agoAt least one person from that elite team would also be pulling 70 hour work weeks at google. That means 10 hours a day, google serves free lunch on weekends too, albeit with less opulence. Work life balance in a startup is an exception, not the norm. The tech industry is simply too competitive for any slack.
- jxub 8y agoHowever Google isn't building that new many products, and their longevity is historically uncertain.
