Working overtime is the exception, not the rule. Maybe not in change-the-world Capitalization-as-a-Service SV, but in the majority of the places I've worked you are expecting to work your 8 hours a day and leave. Some even view a lot of overtime as a negative sign since you can't finish your full-time work in a full-time schedule.

Can you name the industry vertical, please? I'm genuinely curious.

By the way, working overtime is not viewed as a negative when quite literally everyone around you (mostly 20-year olds with no family) is working 60+ hours/week. Quite the opposite. And no, this was no start-up.

I've worked in healthcare, finance, logistics, and consulting in a technical capacity and healthcare and politics in a non-technical capacity. Both the non-tech jobs expected 60+ hours a week (politics considerably more). Only with the logistics programming job was I regularly asked to work past 5 or over a weekend.
