How long do you guys spend working and how do you feel about it?
I've got a remote white collar job as an low level exec and I find I'm routinely putting in 10 hour days; sometimes longer. I get paid well; 150k-ish, but after tax it's not like "hire people to take care of all the other stuff in your life so you can work all the time" well; more like "fancy dinners and wine" well. I know that'll seem ridiculous to the NEETs, but I'm hoping someone else here has been through this stage on their way to boomer-style success and can advise.
Curious if this normal for management and I'm just being a bitch about it -- I've known a lot of workaholics trying to avoid going home to their families and I have no desire to join em. I'm good at my job; I want to get paid for my expertise, not hours at a laptop... can I expect to make the big bucks and still keep the hours under control, or is this just what's expected at this level?
