This is maddening. I've been pulling 40/50/60 hour weeks for 21 years in the tech industry at various different companies. I haven't broken 200k base salary, though benefits are pretty great where I'm at. To think I could've memorized some leet code problems, got a job at FAANG and been making 300k base for the past 5+ years while working 10-hour weeks is - yep, maddening.
