996 means working 9am - 9pm, 6 days a week. which one will you guys choose ?
WLB. Don't sell your life for paper currency which can be devalued faster than you can earn it. You're encouraging exploitation. With so many people on the planet and sufficient skills for every job, employers can plan better instead of going cheap (even at 2x) on labor.
It would need to be 10x for me to consider it. 1.5 or 2x is a joke
They'll pay you 500x if you could recruit 100 people who would work 996 at 2x855 while it is worth 10x. They'll pass over people who are smart but not that smart.
996 is pretty extreme...
That’s a 72 hour work week. If all you are doing is getting between 1.5x and 2x your TC it’s not really worth it.
It could be worth it if you're at the top of your pay class. Like if you're normally 500k/yr, and this brings you to a million a year. But if you're <=200k, or still have substantial room to grow, I wouldn't bother. It's not about the 1.5-2x pay increase. It's more about the raw numbers. Don't kill yourself over a smaller amount, when if you did this next year it'd be worth 40% more to you
You will burnout faster than you can say burnout! 2x is not worth it ....maybe at 4x it starts to become viable
No

I will try the 996, see how long I can survive
Depends on how long I plan on staying at the new place. I could handle it for a year if I could use it as a stepping stone to a FAANG or higher level/ TC elsewhere. I have 365 TC so I don’t NEED much more. If I only had a couple YOE and was making only 150 I would definitely make the move.
FAANG cant match 996 TC I guess
