> It means shit work/life balance
Solution: take a job that doesn't pay $500k.
I hate this saying and rarely say it, but "you can't have your cake and eat it too"
No one should take a $500k job and expect the culture to be 9-5, clock in clock out.
It takes most people 10+ years to earn $500k (often still working their asses off overtime). $500k is a shit ton of money.
It means shit work/life balance, thus missing on a lot of people that would want to have it and results in worse productivity (people need time off or they break).
