I'm sure I must be missing something. (Disclaimer: I definitely do not do 50hr/wk at Uber)
i'm not married to FB. i'll probably jump somewhere else after i'm done vesting.
A large salary figure doesn't seem like a good reason to work what I personally consider an insane amount of hours. By all means, to each their own though.
Maybe not forever, but that kind of salary would be great to build up a house deposit. Could be worth it for a few years.
We tend to ignore the impact on our physical and mental health these working hours do. I would rather opt for lesser pay, smaller house with my health intact. Better bargain IMHO but then to each his own.
