I've never worked at a place that in my view meaningfully rewarded weekend work like this. In fact my salary went up considerably once I stopped doing it and people seemed to respect me more.
My advice for young people is to make damn sure there actually is a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow and make sure you have in writing exactly how it will be distributed. People who want to actually pay you aren't afraid to put those terms to paper, people who are looking to take advantage run screaming from a paper trail.
- edmundsauto 5y agoMy younger self agrees so much with this. I've found little or negative correlation between pushing myself past 50 hours and career success. I even used to joke to a colleague - "the less I work, the more they tell me how well I'm doing". I think it's because less work gives more time to think through strategy. Strategy will usually beat tactics.
