> have to work until 11pm/midnight the previous night

?

Just don't do that then. In at 9, out at 5. No problem, life goes on.




Never work in a startup?


What difference does that make to the price of cheese?


I once worked at amazon. They hire managers who can barely operate computers and can't code. They like to keep engineers on call.

So for instance, on more than one occasion I was forced to wake up and fix a chronic problem caused by another team at 3-4am,and would show up at 10:15 and miss he scrum.

Got chewed out for being 15 minutes late on only 5 hours sleep.

Worst company ever.
