Yes I did it on my last job for a year at least. Good project, learning, good direction for the team, etc. (and of course "more important" things like a salary, friends, family, etc was all in balance). It was not an easy job though, sometimes I was tired, exhausted by the end of the workday. But it felt like being tired after a good exercise session: feeling of accomplishment. I left the job when the smile disappeared (non-technical reasons). Then I realized that the smile in question was a really important thing to me :-)
