Funny seeing a post about these as that's what I was recently reminded of when reading this post:

("80+ hours per week" ... what kind of a psycho even writes this down and puts it out there as if it was normal in any way...)

pretty normal in banking/consulting fields. not sure they write it in the job listing though.

80 hours is mostly a lie for folks experienced enough to have families. What becomes more common is 80+ hours of “I’m responsive whenever I’m asked.”
