I would submit the people who are working here don’t actually make $200k and probably burn to a crisp at 6 months, if not sooner. I don’t think there’s a bigger red flag than this guy. Run. Away.

    I think the point they’re making is that the insane 80+ hour work weeks talked about in the article are, well, insane. What’s even more insane is if they are working 80+ hours a week and only making $120K-$200K, they’re actually just making $60K-$100K or less in what would be a 40 hour week, with the price of giving up your life and sanity.

      If I earned 60k a year while working what is a normal week, I don’t even think I would be seeking extra income. That is more money that I can even imagine managing now. If I were male, my spouse could even go without working entierely because my income would be enough!

      Yeah, but when you’re working 85 hours a week, you can save on rent because you may as well just sleep at your desk.
