    That is the attitude of my dad’s generation. He works 60+ hours a week and gets up at 4am.

    He makes less than I do working 40 hours and barely getting to my computer by 8.

    That advice may have been true 30 years ago but corporations do not care about you anymore. You move up by writing a good resume and switching jobs every 3 years. All that unpaid overtime you gave them means nothing. Maybe it’ll help you get a raise that is less than inflation once a year.

      Nope. It wasn’t true 30 years ago, either. Or 60 years ago. Or 200 years ago.
