Would you ever work 100 hours per week?

I've done it. A lot. Busy season in a public accounting firm. I no longer work in public accounting.

Basically slave labor. Hopefully the off season felt a little more standard or had a lot of vacation built up.

We got to bank OT hours, and as a result, we were able to take a lot of time off when it was slow.

I've done it, as has anyone who's ever been active duty military. And no, we didn't get time and a half after 40 hours, lol. In my younger days it wasn't so bad. Would I do it now? No way.

In a town like Dayton, Ohio or Cedar Rapids, Iowa or Meridian, Mississippi

100/hour workweek with minimum benefits

5 days off per year (sick days and/or vacation...you choose)

Salary: $42,000 gross pay. Would you take this job?
4-year finance related bachelors required
Master's Degree strongly preferred

Working at a desk for 100 hours per week? Sounds like the fast track to suffering a heart attack.

I have worked 100 hrs per week before for temporary periods, and it SUCKS!! I sure as hell wouldn't do it for $40k/year, I better be clocking my regular 40 and then overtime after that!

Another one of these hyperbolic, hypothetical situations with the worst of all possible options and the OP never comes back. Time waster.
