  80 hours is mostly a lie for folks experienced enough to have families. What becomes more common is 80+ hours of “I’m responsive whenever I’m asked.”

    +1 80 hours - if a low experience employee completed the work, but only 30 hours since I did.

    > mostly a lie for folks experienced enough to have families Surviving to that level is HARD. Most Junior Analysts in the IB and Consulting World flame out and exit the industry within 2-3 years.

      Aye - it’s similar across most high end tech work. At the same time, most people in those positions have 5+ years of experience. Most studies show that such people maintain a lie about how much they are working.

        > most high end tech work It isn't. New Grad SWEs work at most 50 hours a week and VPs tend to work around 50-60 hours a week tops. IB and Consulting have notoriously horrid work cultures because there are few roles but plenty of demand.
