The three hour commute to the seventy hour workweek was the lArgest factor. Having to ask for permission to see my family grated on me, too. There are also comparatively minor issues about salary (mine was half a US starting engineers') and having impact with my work, but I would have lasted those for a long time without the work/life balance issues.

How did you find time and energy to work on BCC while working 70 hour weeks?

That is a revolutionary post on the time aspect. What about energy, or was it even an issue? I work about 45 hours a week, but it sometimes seems like that's all the work I've got in me. Working 70 hours a week would, I'm assuming, be almost twice as draining.
