I was able to find a job that was 9am to 4:30am, with an hour for lunch. That, and being able to read on my train commute, went a long way towards reducing burn out.

Then, I negotiated a 4 day work week, along with a 20% pay cut. Loved having a 3 day weekend EVERY WEEK!

[Edit] I meant to say 9am to 4:30pm.

This irks me when the discussion of a shorter work week / day. Why is a pay cut required as long as I maintain as much productivity. By that logic shouldn't I get paid more for working longer days or weekends?

Yes, that's called overtime.

Aren't most salarie positions not exempt though?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you meant 4pm...
