Radhika Gupta on Choices, Hard Work, and a 90-Hour Workweek | |
During my first employment, I spent four months in a row working 100 hours a week on my first project. Working eighteen hours a day, with one day off (not Sunday, as I had to be at a customer location on Sunday). What was it like? In 90% of cases, I was in a bad mood. I sobbed in the restrooms of the workplace, had room service chocolate cake at two in the morning, and was admitted to the hospital twice. Above all else, even though I put in 100 hours at work, I did not produce anything. Many of my graduating classmates had similar stories, having entered comparable positions in consulting, banking, etc. Hard labor is not the same as hours. Those were mostly Facetime hours in entry-level jobs. Indeed, a buddy of mine used an Excel model to construct a screensaver that made their employer believe they were at the office! Not surprisingly, many of us didn’t stay in those positions for very long. To be able to work hard for a long time, we need to be able to maintain it, which is where compounding comes in. | |
