9-9. I cant wake up early.
Neither. Stupid hours.
What's you schedule, buckaroo?
However long it takes to get the work done. Could be a 60 hour week. Could also be a 30 hour week.
6-6...at least I can enjoy a meal with my family at the end of the day
How about 6-9?
big brain comment
6am-9am is optimal
I feel like the opportunity cost of 6-6 would be lower as there are more opportunities to reject from 6 pm to 9pm than there are from 6 am to 9 pm.
9-9, then you at least have the freedom to hit the bar on week days if you want. And work will pay for your dinner and taxi home.
9-9 sucks, try working those hours when you have a spouse and young kids. Ideally you should want to have dinner with your family or go out to have dinner with friends after work. If you are in your 20's and not married, knock yourself out, work past midnight if you want to.
6-6 is not bad if 1) you dont bring home work and dont work on the weekends and 2) you have a 15-20 min commute or WFH. Ideally, I would love to get off work at 2 or 3 PM latest if I start work at 6.
Long term, neither options are very attractive, at some point you have to work 8-9 hours.
I currently work roughly 630-6 and think its loads better than doing 9-9. You're not missing out on anything working 6am-9am and able to do things during the week like dinners, sports league, I can golf 9 holes any weekday I want. Also getting off work when it's still bright out is just a way better feeling psychologically.
This question is why I always laugh when people say they “only” work 60 hours a week. Like that is a ton of hours and basically leaves you with no real free time for anything else other than basic life maintenance like hygiene, food, and sleep.
And yes I’ve worked 60 hours a week for months / years on end before. It sucked.
That’s interesting - I’ve had internships that were your classic 9-5 and 9-6 and I always felt less productive there and the days felt much longer than at my current job working 70+ hours a week, where I enjoy the work more and the hours just fly by
What are you going to do between 6am - 9am? Nothing. What can you do between 6pm - 9pm? Everything. You could pursue a hobby on two/three weeknights, take your SO out to dinner one weeknight, go to the pubs on the remaining day, while still hitting the gym everyday. Sure, sleeping at 10 pm is not the best - but the value you get out of three hours in the evening compared to three hours in the early morning is uncomputable.
regarding the gym thing. The gym is(WAS), so crowded after work. If you work 9-9 you can usually sneak out at 2pm-3pm to hit the gym.
or hit the gym at 9:30pm like i do - my gym closes at 11pm and i'm a late workout type of guy
