known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week

Maybe it’s age talking but I’m at the point where my goal is the job that pays me the most for the least amount of time spent working.
I’m much happier working my “845” (8am-4pm 5 days a week, ideally less) and then being done so I can spend as much time enjoying my life.
