Someone working 80 hour weeks at a prestige job for the chance of a seven figure income is different from someone working 80 hour weeks just to put food on the table and support their family.
- rvba 5y agoProgrammer in China working 996 is a prestige job with a chance of a big payout though. Programmers have it much easier to switch jobs due to scarcity and high demand - this also applies to China.
- bingohbangoh 5y agoThere are vanishingly few bank jobs and so the hazing process to get them is brutal. The banks push their associates to work 80hr/wk because they can. Technologists, for instance, don't work these hours (something closer to 60hr/wk in my experience). The 996 phenomenon seems to be more common. It's as if every job put you through the ringer.
- ausudhz 5y agoProgrammers in China are treated really well. In some place they even have free massage just to say. Many get stocks and big bonuses at the end of the year. Is one of the high paid jobs in China. But the funny thing is that you think interns are making a 7 figure salary which is laughable (I was referring to them definitely not to the CEO of BoA)
