    I hope people are getting wise to the startup grind. If you're all
    working for equity in the company, working enough hours that it limits
    your social and personal life isn't worth it.

    If you're making a paycheck and they're still focusing on the startup
    grind, they're doing it to maximize your work hours.

    But, hey, they do Uber Eats for employees who work after 7pm...



    To be honest, one should take advantage of the years in which one is young and able-bodied to work hard and make money, so then he can relax in his mid 40s when he goes fat and his joints rust :-)

    Social life is overhyped. If I could do more extra hours I would take them.

    Looking back at the places that paid OT vs. comp time, I think I would,
    too, even though I did not like those places that much.

    Career building is jump-started by those years - being in before the
    boss, out after he leaves, networking with people inside and outside
    your company, and performing.

    I like working remotely, but if I were in my 20s, I'd insist on working
    in the office in order to make those connections. Whether or not the
    company states it, no remote worker will get promoted moving forward.
    Hell, Dell already said the quiet part out loud.
