As Ron Swanson says, “Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that.” I used to spend 80 hours a week at past startups because that was required and I wanted to move out of help desk support. There were various moments during my stint at Peloton where that number jumped to 120 hours a week. I'm now at Federal and spend good 30-35 hours/week at work. I'll work nights but only if I took the day off in the morning without taking my PTO. I am able to enjoy life outside of work and I am a better person for it. There's nothing inherently wrong about working extra hours or nights, but do it for yourself or someone you care about at work, never for the organization.
