In an industry once known for cushy perks, some founders are now asking staff to commit to a 72-hour weekly schedule. You’re either in or you’re out.

    known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week

    Tl;dr

      I’d consider it for:

      • The right job
      • The right money

      But it’s going to have to be the kind of job I would put in those kinds of hours for free, and get paid at least triple what is reasonably expected.
