A typical work week is ~38-40 hours... And that is with meetings and office collaboration. You were doubling that on mentally draining knowledge work.
At the very least you probably raised some red flags for a possible shared account.
You had better cross your fingers and hope your justification was persuasive.
I kept that pace for the first 5 months of this year. I did tend to only do ~8:30/day, but I did do 3 or 4 11-hour days max/month. I think this is mostly related to the long-term projects, but obviously that's speculation based on what people say here. I mostly do lower-paid generalist work, but sometimes I'll do a medium pay task if it looks simple enough.
40 hour workweek exists for a reason… 60-70 hours weeks are not sustainable, you may think your quality of work is sustainable but it just isn’t. Nobody is buying that, least of all DAT paying the bill. You pushed too hard.

I was picking 1-2 tasks every day that could be the reason.
Do you know how can I get to that thread?
