Any 'real' hackers here ?
Ok, let me get this out of the way first. This is not a job posting for a 'rock star' web developer / 'hacker'Its a short consulting gig.We are in the midst of developing a slightly critical website and need someone who can hack it.Yep, you read that right.Someone who can exploit any existing security loop holes AND then tell us how or what to fix.Why are we doing this ? So that when the site launches, it has a lower probability of getting hacked :)If you think you are up for the job, please…See More

"Its all depends on your planning and execution, but think its not about single week it has to be for the entire year or for the entire project you handle.. so according to planning and execution one can fix up a time."

"No, I am not working Investment banking sector, my schedule is so hectic. I can't do anything before having good offers in my field ( electronics engineering) so how do you manage your weekends!!"
Aneja Raj replied to Abhik Prasad's discussion How much do you work ?
"Agreed with most of the posts. My personal belief is Not to Work too hard. Always take time off - go to the beach with your family and friends and have a Beer. In the long run, working too hard may not matter. Its about…"

"Abhik,
While working from office does enforce discipline, I think back to my bootstrapping days when I worked from home, a solid 2 years.....I used to be more relaxed, ate on time, completed things must faster since commuting was less.
But…"
Natasha replied to Abhik Prasad's discussion How much do you work ?
"Well, am still working. :)
I work in a Production support environment, and I dont think thats a "happy happy" scenario. But most of the IT world revolves around not working but "being available" for 24 X 7 support. One of the key…"

"Aneja,
You are right. 6 am is indeed rush hour in the US and when I used to work there, my day also started pretty earlier. However, these days, very people go home at 5 and most people work quite crazy hours there, starting early and leaving…"

"Surabhi,
Do you by any chance work in investment banking on Wall Street ;)
Thats quite a crazy set of hours indeed that you work there :("

"Rajiv,
I used to work from home before moving to an office setup...and you are right, having fixed office hours forces a sort of discipline compared to working from home where work sort of expands to fill the time available and you are almost…"

"Thanks Shrinivas.
I was just looking to get a sense of the amount of hours people put in (and the office hours) and I understand that there is no one single ideal model for everyone."
Aneja Raj replied to Abhik Prasad's discussion How much do you work ?
"Don't work too hard. Americans work four and a half days a week.They are still the NO 1 economy in the world where start ups thrive. But they start very early during week days, mornings are very productive."
Surabhi replied to Abhik Prasad's discussion How much do you work ?
"Hi Abhik,
I work 6 days a week and office timing is 7am to 10pm which I think good but I just have a weekend leave. I do not have time for enjoyment and as pursuing engineering I used to wake up at 6 am to have some studies.
This schedule…"
Rajiv Lulla replied to Abhik Prasad's discussion How much do you work ?
"Segregating work and "free-time" is a mind-set.
There are times, when I go home early, to be with my daughter, but spend time on the computer, e-mailing clients, sending quotations, fixing up meetings.
Conversely, being in…"

Starting Up ?
Read this interesting article in the Economic Times about how people find it difficult to quit their jobs despite being miserable and planning for a long time.
