  The blog post seems to say that the Harvard grads couldnt be squeezed out like a lemon with 100h weeks ("balance between hunger and burn out")... As much as I dont like grads from top schools. Here they showed some actual smarts. You dont need to work 100 hour weeks in a sweatshop that tries to "balance you between burned out and hungry". Probably that grad has rich parents too, so they can switch jobs to a boring corporate job. They have a safety net not to be exploited with 100hour per week gruel. Come on? Is that some success story? 100 hour weeks is eithet a sweatshop or shitty work organization. I bet that lady wanted that motived, hard working harvard grad for 15 dollars per hour and also with 50 hours of UNPAID overtime. That's jusr the typical sweatshop approach. Also they should "think big" but not too big like for example "we should pay better in our sweatshop". I looked who she was - and seems her own partners kicked her out from that company that she was supposedly building by exploiting people.
