My job before coding was working 12 hour days, 30 days at a time on a cement tug and barge. I'm never going back. I'll take all the on call you can give me.

- giantg2 6y agoI know tech leads who consistently work 11 hour days. Different kind of work though. Were you hourly?
- leesec 6y agoDaily. And it wasnt 12 on 12 off, it was 6 on 6 off 6 on 6 off, so you couldn't get good sleep
- giantg2 6y agoAh, that sucks. I should have assumed as much since almost maritime work is not great until you get way up the chain. Most hourly positions with longer hours are nice. I have a buddy in construction that would make great money with all the extra hours. Any salary or daily pay stuff is not cool.
