VPE of a startup here. I work 10 to 15 hours a day.

Same.

I have a specific schedule that I balance with caffeine pills, antacids, and advil.

I've also developed quite a few habits and strategies that help me keep pace.

Here's my virtual fist bump in solidarity.

Thanks man

Not for multiple consecutive years as measured in LinkedIn tenure years you don’t (assuming weekends get impacted too since you’re pushing 8am to 11pm daily at the edge).

I wasn't speaking in hyperbole. I have worked many 3am to 6pm days, and my typical day is 8am to 6pm. I have only had a few sane days, and I don't take breaks. I feel like shit most of the time.

Thanks for the down votes though.

[azatris]

That's impressive. Do you think it will get better mentally at one point?

I guess what drives it all is that the work is meaningful, am I correct?

[iamoverworked]

No I will burn out and probably quit within a year if we don't hire a larger team.

[dred_prte_rbrts]

Don't wait. If you're feeling the burn ask for help or find something else NOW.

I didn’t downvote :)
