Hi BK, I can sympathise. The last few weeks I've been working 90 hours a week. My sister, who's in investment banking, worked 125+ hours a week for the last month and a half on a huge deal. And try not to fall into the trap of HAVING to work overtime. Taliesin is right, what can happen is that you will end up providing a level of output which requires a minimum number of hours to provide and people get used to that, so when you reduce the number of hours you work your output might drop (unless you become more efficient ) and it may be perceived by a not-very-understanding boss as a negative. Happened to me a couple of years ago when I decided to get more balance in life. Good luck!
