I'm extremely glad I don't work 90h/week, nor have I ever had to (my contract says 40h/week and that's usually how much I work - if I do overtime (rare) I usually get to adjust for that on a different day).

However, I'm not very invested in my work, and I genuinely wish I could work in a team with such esprit de corps and shared sense of purpose as the original Mac team.

I wonder if the two can only ever be had as a package deal.

I.e. if you are so invested in your work (probably a good thing, all else being equal), does it inevitably end up expanding beyond 40h/week (probably a bad thing, all else being equal)?

On your last question, I think it does end-up expanding.

I currently avg. 90hrs a week at 1/3 the pay than my last one that scored better X times on many metrics.

However, although quite draining from many aspects, I enjoy it more and am kinda more happier.
