Personally to I take a job for a particular compensation and I put in a certain effort level. When its at the right level I put in about 50 hours a week. I know I should not but its expected and the pay is good. Since raises have not kept up with inflation I have been dropping what I put in (this is another reason I put in the extra so I have control of my hourly compensation more). Honestly though im down to 40 hours and make it a point of taking an hour lunch. I would like to slough off more but I just find that boring. I do put any work that I already know at the back though and prioritize things I have to learn and research.
