Would you work 60-70 hours per week for $90,000 a year salary?

[97Pac]

I turned down an $85k job as a district manager for a company when the recruiter told me I would be working 70 hours a week. I took a job making $60k but only 40 hours. I have no debt so it was a no brainer

I currently work 60-70 hours now but I make more than $90k and trying to pay off a house.

If they have no debt I would take a lower paying job with less hours. If they need money bad and it's their highest offer, take it, live frugal and leave once their money is straight

Yes. Managing a car wash involves tracking employee productivity, revenues and costs. I could take those skills into the next job where I get paid in scale relative to my time and accrued skills. Fact of the matter is, the higher paying jobs are going to demand more either in skills or time as you go up the ladder.

He don’t really do none of that. Most of the time he’s working there by himself. He only got 2 employees. He used to own a car wash but sold it. They guy he sold it to hired him to managed one his other car washes. Long story short, he got divorced and got fukked over in the settlement so he has to work.

to answer the question, I've worked 60-70 hours a week for a few months out of the yr before. i could probably do it for a year or two, but no way I'd do it long term unless the pay was like a quarter of a mil or more.


that shyt sucks even for an "easy" job

Broke people will do whatever, ask somebody who bagging groceries would they take that salary at then hours

Basically, he said he’s leaving in 3 years.

Then he's doing what he has to do. There are more difficult ways to make 90k.

So basically if he or she works 60 to 70 hours a week, they are capped at $28/hour and change, less than that if it's at the high end..

And what state was this in? fukk all that... I wouldn't work that many hours for $28

Yep.. I'm in meetings all day and behind computer screens a lot and even I get bored. Can't imagine doing anything harder and for more hours.

Basically, he said he’s leaving in 3 years.

If he is smart he'll be looking for another job with similar pay but less hours or trying to get promoted where he is at and make a lateral move to a different company. Our bodies aren't designed to work like that long term.

Once you factor in taxes, its not worth it.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Hell no

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Is this about a man or a woman?

I swear I had to reread that shyt like 2 or 3 times to try to understand wtf he was saying

Then I said fukk it and went straight to the comments


People don’t seem to understand how important grammer is when trying to get a point across

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Depends on if I like the work

Basically this

I had a job I hated but was making close to that.

Had a job I loved but made like 15k less.


These companies will try to screw you. But if I like the work it doesn’t feel like work

 

[drederick tatum]

I wrote it like that on purpose.

Just to see how people would react.

Obviously it worked

You're full of shyt.

People are really giving serious answers to this thread but will ignore interesting, thought-provoking ones. I guess telling someone they ducked up or calling them an idiot is too enticing.
