the only way you would see me working 70-90 hours a week is if I owned my own business...

9/16/2011 7:07:54 PM

90 hrs per week sounds like the dumbest thing I could do with myself.

9/16/2011 7:16:40 PM

is it salary or hourly?

salary, fuck no...hourly, OMFGWTFBBQ I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU.

9/16/2011 7:18:18 PM

are you getting paid twice what you would get paid for 40hrs a week? if not, then fuck no

9/16/2011 7:18:23 PM

Depends what level you are.

You are definitely going to want Action Boy no matter what your play style.


I would definitely recommend Sharpshooter for a long-range build


and if you aren't a high level already, make sure you get Tag! early on. It will end up paying for itself, trust me,


Good luck: the wasteland is a harsh mistress.

Oh my...I really believe in working more than 40 hours a week but damn, that is a bit nutso.

Generally, when you work those hours in the beginning of the career, you're doing it for the eventual pay off.

So you won't make 120k right out the gate, but you will retire making 300k. It's like back pay, and it can totally mess with your head.

I would maybe work 70 if I could do at least 30 at home. Don't think I'd do 90 ever.

9/16/2011 7:31:21 PM

^^Yea, but I'd rather not waste my youth doing bullshit 60-80hours a week.

You only get this one life, and it can end at any moment. Spend your time doing stuff you love.

I made the decision to do this and quit my corporate job over 2 years ago and have not been happier.

FUCK










NO







Unless this is temporary with an end in sight within a year, MAX 2

9/16/2011 7:34:04 PM

What do you do sir

9/16/2011 7:34:23 PM

yeah if its 'sleeping research' then i say go for it.

otherwise, the perks are great, but you won't have time to enjoy them until...

[Edited on September 16, 2011 at 7:37 PM. Reason : d]

9/16/2011 7:35:44 PM

^^^^Yeah, you better really love what you do if you're gonna work that much.

^AHAHA @ sleep research

nope

I enjoy having a work/life balance

9/16/2011 8:02:12 PM

It better be temporary or you better love it, life is too short for that crap.

9/16/2011 8:10:26 PM

We got a lot of cliche philosophers in this thread. If you want to do it, do it.

9/16/2011 8:28:21 PM

I spent about two months this summer on a project where I was working 85-90 hour weeks, and it was hell. Not worth it to me, regardless of perks. 70 would have been a lot better.

9/16/2011 9:10:29 PM

unless you're in medical residency, this idea, it is horrible.

9/16/2011 9:11:47 PM

I am doing approx. 65-85 a week but that is the regular engineering job and the start up I am working on with a former client and its pretty damn rough... probably wouldnt be doing it if it wasnt my own company

9/16/2011 9:15:36 PM

I would do it for a short period if i am compensated accordingly. If you said debt free in a year on this plan i would absolutely do it.

9/16/2011 11:03:17 PM

what ^ said

9/16/2011 11:03:53 PM

Depends on how much the pay is.
