Working more than 40h/week. So, if you have family and/or kids, you’ll see then less than you see your colleagues at the office. Simple back of the envelope calculation:
- 10h/day at the office
- 25 min commute each way
- 8h/day of sleep
- 1h/day for chore (shower, dinner, breakfast)
That leaves you 4h/day to spend with your loved ones, plus weekends (unless “hardcore” also means working a little bit on Saturdays). And those 4h won’t be your best 4h. So anyone staying at Twitter will commit a suicide in terms of family and friends life.
What can I say... all my employers to date were expecting more than what you describe here, and that was always making me feel guilty of not having energy when family time was coming...
I was finding new job, and in each job first few months are always 'proove yourself' time, then there are a few months of low stress time followed by ups and downs (periods of time where more is required and periods of low stress). I thought everywhere is like this?
- 10h/day at the office - 25 min commute each way - 8h/day of sleep - 1h/day for chore (shower, dinner, breakfast)
That leaves you 4h/day to spend with your loved ones, plus weekends (unless “hardcore” also means working a little bit on Saturdays). And those 4h won’t be your best 4h. So anyone staying at Twitter will commit a suicide in terms of family and friends life.
