There's stories and there's reality. I've seen 60 hour weeks occasionally but not 80 and not de-facto required. Most places have decent managers that understand work/life balance. Find one that does.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoMy story comes from my life experiences starting at SGI, Netscape, Wall Street, etc over 30 years. What you deem reality i extrapolate from my reality as a recent emergent reality based on broad social trends that may or may not stick. I think the work life balance stuff is really recent and coincides with employers trying to convince people they’re not really evil and part of the recent wave of liberal humanism in western societies. It’s a great trend. But it’s neither concrete reality nor proven to be permanent.
