Isnt working 80 hours a week ineffective due to you being tired soon and burned out after few years? Assuming that really work those 80 hours instead of chatting, browsing or mindlessly staring into screen.

I read some studies about that. Maybe I believe them cause I am European. Or maybe cause I did worked a lot in the past and my experience confirmed studies.




If you put those 80 hours/week into a high-growth startup that takes off, a few years are all you need. After that, the expectation is that you'll be a multi-millionaire and can practically retire.
