I've found that this is a much less stressful and more productive way to approach most things in life.
> Some of the 60 hr/week employees are gunning for promotions and probably don't care about work life balance. Why should everyone have to compete with that?
That seems totally reasonable. It's similar to the way tech companies have a concept of a "terminal level" where it's considered fine to spend your whole career with no pressure or expectations to earn further promotions.

- jchendy 10y agoTerminal level is usually "senior software engineer" or the equivalent. Something that every competent engineer can reasonably be expected to achieve.
- serge2k 10y agoSenior dev is usually fine to stay at as long as you keep producing. Amazon states that SDE-II is fine actually. I think that's just their way of keeping the bar for senior higher.
