You are talking a few hours extra each week. You are also taking about 150k total comp right out of school.
If you have the ability to bust ass for a few years at Google you’ll be easy to hire at every future gig, you’ll learn from some of the smartest people on the planet, and have your first home by 25.
100% worth it to put time in at any FAANG.
Google itself is fantastic. Most managers are great hard-working tech folks and have your back.
The problem is that nobody in tech can even really work for eight hours a day for long periods. People who work long hours almost always pad out the actual work with non-work. And the people who live at work are typically screwing around so much that they barely get any work done.
Yes, it makes sense to do all of this as a person working there, but I think it is telling that the companies let this happen. People can only work so much. Why not get the work out of them that you can, and then send them on their way?
