Thanks for asking! I agree this can be pretty tough, especially because people are really different.
In most cases (aside from external contractors) we don’t pay people based on the number of hours that they work. So, salaries don’t really vary based on the hours exactly.
But, if someone truly is able to sustainably and productively work long hours, they will probably perform better. As a result, this could increase the chances that they get promoted, which means higher salary etc.
However, I have also seen cases where people have needed to scale back their work in order to make better judgment calls, and take care of their health, and that ultimately led to promotion. It varies a lot!
