I don't see how it can harm your career. Past employers don't tell your future employers how many hours you worked per week. You would have to bring that up. Instead I would focus on results and the value you add. I wouldn't be too impressed if I interviewed someone who said they routinely worked 50+ hrs/week at their last job. That indicates either a dysfunctional workplace or an employee who can't get things done on time. It might indicate an exceptional dedication to work, but then I would wonder how often the candidate burns out. I would like to see candidates who have a record of getting things done, going the extra mile when necessary, but that isn't necessarily measured by number of hours worked in a week.
