I got an opportunity like that a few months ago where in I was offered A Job where i need to work for 12 hours or something like that in a day, Where in Our Meals will be provided by the work place and those who are from distant places will be provided decent accommodation and there was no week off, just that we can take around 2 or 3 offs in a month but we need to get that approved first.
Of course I denied it with a smiling face as it was a little too much for my liking, of course i would have earned more from it but i think it would have pressurized more.
What Are your views about it? Will You Work For more then 12 Hours a Day and 7 days a Week For 2X Of Your Current Salary? Please Share.

I don't like to overwork for high wages. Because if this goes on for a long time, health will be affected.

I am actually overwork considering I just stay home. Even when I go out, I am working. But if you ask me that question and I am working for a company, it would be a no-no, I will not compromise my health.

Hmm, only person from china said no and I say hell no, maybe a couple of hours here and there but these people are what dragging society down. Oh lets show boss how hard I work Oh lets show boss he is my master. Sorry tried this in Marines when was 19 and all you became is their puppet , but many do not care if you treat them right. and pay them. Then next thing you know you doing things you hate not proud of and would never do if you were truly in charge. You done became the thing you hated most. You are not like them, but are them.

@thesupersingh That's good to know. The many money you have earned will just be spent in medicines and hospitalization when you fall ill because of too much work.

I guess I will do that and then after earning and saving enough money from it, I will resign to the company and start my own business.

@thesupersingh Well, I just realize that I can't do it. The work in that time frame, that would be a very stressful time. I'd be like a zombie

@thesupersingh Then I don't think I would do it. Working 30 days straight is not for me!

I once had a job where I worked 7 days a week, not 12 hours per day but 6 or 8 hours per day. In the beginning I was okay with it ,but it was hard to work every single day and I quit after a couple of months. I wouldn't do it again.

YES. The reasons, that is not a permanent job. It adds to my resume so that the next job I apply for, would mean at least higher than what I am earning right now. When we are young, we can do it. When we grow old, or have too many responsibilities we cannot. So I would have at your age.
