90 / 7 = 12.86 hours a day, every day.

In America that would be 50 hours of overtime.

So let me ask him this... are you PAYING me for 90 hours? I can do it, let's see the money.

My current salary is $69.23/hr.

OT hours would be $103.85.

Pay me $414,010 a year and you'll get your 90 hours a week.

Honestly, you could add three digits to that and I still wouldn't do it.
A friend of mine worked around 90-100 hours a week, building up his own business, hoping to get bought out by a big fish and retire early.
He simply didn't wake up anymore one night when he was 35.

I'm 55, had my first heart attack and open heart surgery at 49. I feel you.
