I am with you. I started out at 55-90 hrs over 5-6 days and occasionally 7 days a week after being promised 4-10hr days a week. I was pretty sure I was paying excessive dues. This was entry level engineering after all. Later got a 32 hr a week job. Should have stopped right damn there. Ah the fool I was. Bumped it to 40. Then left for “growth” - a “startup within” a megaCorp. Now doing “every waking minute I can stand without breaking”. Sweatshop corporate slavery on both ends of the experience/skill ladder. Credentials and experience mean nothing to work life balance.
