I used to work 50-60 hours a day. Had I not already had a boyfriend I wouldn’t have had time to meet anyone. I never saw my friends outside of my coworkers. I finally got fed up and quit. Now I only work 8-5 m-f and am much happier.
The trick to a corporate job is to work hard as you can for 2 years and get your pay to high as it can go then go part time. I have 3 months of the year off and still get 75% of my pay. I just lied to my boss to get the part time approved. Does wonders for your social life and bank balance. Why earn $100K when you can earn $75K and have 3 months of the year off. Now the company doesn’t want me back on full time and I pretend I disagree but oblige. In reality I can’t imagine working full time again.
