You usually don’t have the option to modulate this. It’s my second such position and neither one had the option of anything other than high stress, and near-burnout work intensity on highly ambiguous, organizationally and technically complex problems. If they could hire someone for less to do what I do, they would. On the positive side I no longer want to climb the ladder. The higher up you go the worse this gets, and I don’t think it’s worth it, not even for a “life changing” amount of money.
- riku_iki 2y agostress is your internal state, and is optional. Work intensity is result of you not saying no. I still believe if your employer pays you 7 digits for 12h/d, he will pay you about the same for 8h/d which will bring total -20% delivered value reduction (reduced work time, but improved burnout damage).
