Married with 2 young kids and in early 40s. My spouse works a non-tech on the clock job and timings are 9-5. My job isn't super busy but definitely not able to get it done within 9-5. Pointless meetings, all hands, bug bash, stand-ups, PM/Dev review, assisting Junior devs, tooling issues all take a few hours in the day. There are other micro-delays like build time etc that also take some time. So I end up using a few hours in the night to get things done. Spouse thinks I'm not working efficiently to wrap things b/w 9-5. How do other engineers do ? Do you end up logging in after kids are off to bed or are you able to efficiently use 9-5 and not touch the laptop until the next day ?
Level at msft ?
