| So much of “normal” depends what _your_ objective is. If you are very career driven, work at a startup, or would like to generate additional opportunities for your own advancement - 60hrs a week might be normal. In my own experience, you stop measuring work by hours at that point, and convert to measurement by results (which, if you are ambitious, leads to more hours actually worked). If you want to work fewer hours because you don’t want to prioritize your work or career (to spend time with friends or family, other passions, etc), that’s fine. There are probably folks with that mindset who would view 30 hours as normal. Personally, I am at my office working 12hrs a day 5 days a week. Then about 10 hours on Sunday. But that’s because my objective at this phase of my life is to build a winning business and maximize the value of our equity. Your objective is probably different from mine, but hopefully not different from those you are working with. |
