I don't want to do excessive overtime (or overtime at all if I can help it, but I'll make an occasional allowance). But I also don't really want to be sitting around during the workday without things to do. That's its own kind of unpleasant experience, to me.

Funnily enough, that was my experience working for a FAANG and a couple startups that had just recently gotten a lot of investment money. They need 300 developers, and only the best, but they're a bit disorganised and don't have enough work for all devs. Lots of sprints finished three days earlier, lots of digging holes and filling them back.

And you're 100% right that it sucks.
