Don't neglect your health. No one ever wrote "I wish I had worked more" on their tombstone. Sleep, exercise, good diet. Be careful of "death marches". Just because the head of sales told a customer it was "a piece of cake to add functionality X" doesn't mean you have to work nights and weekends. And if you do, is management there, beside you? I thought not.

Nice advice, I always prioritize my health before the job.

What are "death marches"?

And if you do, is management there, beside you? I thought not.

Definitely not, some times but mostly not.
