> I'd actually be willing to work a 40-hour week again, but only if my job then gives me responsibilies beyond just being a coder.

Why would they do that? You don't seem to have shown any initiative or demonstrated how well you would take on extra responsibility.

I'm sorry, but do you know anything about my work as a coder besides that I work 30 hours a week?

I bet you, if you were to ask my boss if I've proven a valuable asset to the company he would sing you a song of praise for my work.

Working long hours isn't everything.

How do you know how much responsibility he has? Plenty of senior people work less than 40h but have a lot of responsibility.
