Amped and motivated to work 996. I couldn't be able to work more than 50 hours a week and get stressed beyond that. Are there any bio hacks or strategy to get to 996? I came here from a low-income family, and my mom took a lot of physical harassment with my alcoholic father. It hurts my brain that I didn't have the opportunity that many take for granted. I want to earn a lot for my family and leave good fortune for them. Nothing else satisfies me. For those who say money is not essential, you don't know what it did not have the money in the middle of the month to pay bills or walk away from an abusive partner with no financial backup. TC: 260 USD Edit: by 996, I meant to have the energy to work 72 hours and not necessarily for my day job. It will include working on my skills, interview prep, and then doing a 45 hour workweek
Just be sure to keep a healthy diet, exercise, and sleep properly. You'll be fine, many PhD students work 996 in the US just fine.
Thanks! Any diet you would recommend?
Just whatever makes you feel good and energetic. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Why do you want to work 996?
Edit - I wanted to work to get ahead.
PIPed?
Nope, so far, I had a good ride
get a life, stop this bs 996
Please stop doing this. A better option is to get a job with higher TC while the working hours remain the same. Working over hours is almost never a good idea to your or your colleagues.
Thanks! I updated the post. I don't need to work for 72 hours just for my day job. I need a lifestyle to work additional 32 hours for side hustles - interview prep, learning, trading
That’s not what 996 means. The title is misleading so please update.
All this time, I thought 996 meant working for 96 hours overs 9 weekdays and taking every other Friday off.
You basically want to increase your cash-flow. Ultimately, money makes money, and you hit the right spot of increasing your skills / investments to make more money. You don’t need 996 at same company as they can fire you anytime. 1. Switch company’s by putting extra hours on Leetcode/interview prep. Switch at least after you hit your cliff. Maximize TC from secure jobs. 2. Learn how to save tax. Money not given to Uncle Sam is money saved for yourself. 3. invest on growth stocks/ETFs. If you want some cash flow happening periodically, then invest on high dividend stocks. Growth stocks give you benefit from compound interests, but you’ll have to keep your money away. Dividend stocks will give you the benefit of passive income of some form. 4. If you have enough capital and are interested in real estate, you can setup rental properties for passive income. But, hot rental areas would need a much higher capital. This is where dividend stocks can come handy until you are not in capacity for real estate. There are some more risky forms of money making (options trading, angel investing, pre-IPO stocks, etc.) which have higher or no returns. So, it depends on your risk appetite as it’s basically the money you are willing to lose. Try at your own risk.
