How has your career progress been in terms of promotions / raises? At my last job I was directly told that part of why my bonus amount was lowered was my attempt to self-limit my hours (which is a good part of why I left right after that review). They weren't thinking about it as a disciplinary issue, but it was clear that all the people who were doing well at the company were those who put in long hours, even if those hours didn't involve working.

Great question. I killed in my first few years at that Fortune 50, then stalled because I was on an unfit team and continually pressed my colleagues. Learned a lot from that, but I digress. I did some contracting where I worked ~50, because the pay was hourly. Now I have a great full-time spot making about double where I started out of college.
I'm glad you left and hope you found something better!

This is where a good company culture could make a difference. I have family, and I don't miss real life because someone decided to have a meeting at 7. No one stops me, but I know the people who always stay will progress further and faster, I only have my skill to rely on.
