I have been working between 30 and 24 hours as a Senior Software Developer in the past 20 years. I have had several colleagues who work a similar amount of hours. I have been telling employers that I am only productive for about six hours per workng day on average and that never has been a deal breaker. The number of productive hours does vary from day to day, but I know that I push myself beyond that limit, I will run in trouble after some months. I have heard about studies that the average employee is only really productive for about two or three hours per day. With me working six hours per day, I might just as productive as someone being eight hours in the office.
