VPE of a startup here. I work 10 to 15 hours a day.
- texasbigdata 6y agoNot for multiple consecutive years as measured in LinkedIn tenure years you don’t (assuming weekends get impacted too since you’re pushing 8am to 11pm daily at the edge).
- iamoverworked 6y agoI wasn't speaking in hyperbole. I have worked many 3am to 6pm days, and my typical day is 8am to 6pm. I have only had a few sane days, and I don't take breaks. I feel like shit most of the time. Thanks for the down votes though.
- texasbigdata 6y agoI didn’t downvote :)
- azatris 6y agoThat's impressive. Do you think it will get better mentally at one point? I guess what drives it all is that the work is meaningful, am I correct?
- iamoverworked 6y agoNo I will burn out and probably quit within a year if we don't hire a larger team.
- dred_prte_rbrts 6y agoDon't wait. If you're feeling the burn ask for help or find something else NOW.
- preommr 6y agoSame. I have a specific schedule that I balance with caffeine pills, antacids, and advil. I've also developed quite a few habits and strategies that help me keep pace. Here's my virtual fist bump in solidarity.
- iamoverworked 6y agoThanks man
