84 hour weeks are also common in industries like investment banking. If someone said they were giving up all distractions, working 84h weeks as an investment banking VP and donating 70% of their salary for 3 years, we would just call them dedicated. So I think the only caveats that are needed are to ensure the path to β¬1M is realistic and to avoid burnout.
In practice a lot of those people end up horribly burnt out. If I knew a friend who was planning on going into investment banking (into a role where working 80+ hour weeks was the norm) I would discourage them from doing so.
