We're a 6 person team in B2B SaaS with multiple hundreds of customers, growing in double digit percentages per month.
I've worked 80-100 hour weeks for the past 18 months. It's not unheard of, and isn't necessarily due to staffing issues (maybe quantity of staff).
I count driving, showering and cooking as work. Even though I'm physically doing something else, I am primarily thinking about work at those times.
Doing things without big time VC money is a daunting task and can easily consume your entire life.
- npizzolato 11y agoWith that definition, you may as well count sleeping as work too if you dream about your job. It sure is easy to work 24x7 when you count everything you do as work!
- leesalminen 11y agoMy job is problem solving. Problem solving requires thought - sometimes large quantities of it. That can take time, and it can be hard to say "I will only think about this problem from 9-5 today". I've awoken numerous times in the middle of the night with an "a-ha" feeling and immediately started coding. Does that count?
