Would you work 12 hours a day, six days a week and seven hours on the seventh day for $200 per day?

You can wear anything you want, but cannot leave for lunch or take regular breaks. Most of the time you are working with one other person but occasionally you are working alone.

Just wondering what you all think about it.

I would work 12 hours a day. Maybe even the weekend but I don't think I could work with just one or two other people. My favorite thing about my current job is the fact I work for a giant company.

depends on how badly I needed the money....

I bill my clients much more than that and many days I can barely drag myself to work on some projects.

$200 a day really isn't that much money. Is it a strenuous job or easy? If its easy 7 days though a pain and not convenient woudln't be that bad, if its a challenidng job you need some time to rest.

Also, would you get say a 4 day weekend every 2 weeks working a crazy schedule like that? get any vacation time? etc?

Are you doing this right now? If I remember correctly, you had recently acquired a businsess. Of course it requires a lot of time, but you may get burned out very fast.

Thats just shy of an 80 hour week. I work almost every day, but I average about 55 hours and even that doesn't leave me much free time.

Not right now, as I make more than that...but if it came down to doing that or being unemployed absolutely. I would work for half of that if it meant not having to join the list of the unemployed.

A few years ago, I was working more than 12 hrs a day, sometimes 7 days a week for a lot less money. But it helped me to get ahead. Now I have more time to play.
