I have a slightly different view (43/20). I like to work for small companies that have a bit of startup thinking (let's get things done, build cool stuff and be open minded about fresh and contrarian ideas) but that are run by people who have a more balanced view of how much time their employees should work. At my stage in life (speaking only for myself), I don't buy into those BS sales jobs from hiring managers of getting rich on options, working until you're burnt out because you're changing the world, etc.

Only work on contract. Only bill by hour, day, or week (depending on how good you are). I don't believe in loyalty to a company or scene. I'm here to make money to fund my own life, that's it.

  It is one way to go, but I think it's still important to set limits. Getting paid by the hour by a company willing you pay you overtime to be overworked still means that there's a risk of burning out.

    I charge more for hours beyond 9-5.
