Some people are motivated by different things. No rate would get me to 80 hours a week: that's over 11 hours a day, every​ day which isn't healthy for any length of time. But 60 hours a week at 75% of that rate for a year or a year and a half would for me mean the ability to augment my stock and mostly passive residential real estate investments to the point where I wouldn't need to have an employment derived income. I'd strongly consider it. I'd rather be there in 18 months than 48-60, or never if I worked just enough hours to "get by" as it were.
