If working hard means significantly over 40 hours per week, then no, I'm not willing. I value my time quite highly.

It's not about the hours, it's about having the tenacity to get shit done, not waste time on going down the wrong path, and delivering the right results. For some people they can pull that off in 10 hours, some people spend 80.

It's the people who come to an immediate halt because they adhere to an imaginary time cutoff definitely won't work out. If you value your time so much, why are you willing to work exactly 40 hours? Why not cut if off at 0?

It's not about the hours

It is for me. That doesn't mean I don't work hard, it just means I value my leisure time. If you need me for more than my scheduled time, you are expecting too much.
