So I was reading from a previous thread about App vs Game Development:
If it was for you to chose Game Development vs Application Development, which will you chose?
Which brought me to this site: EA: The Human Story
A lot of it talked about developers working something like 85 hours a week, and not getting paid overtime, or anything. Just getting paid for the 40 hours. Is this normal for most software companies? I mean where I work I'm only an entry level guy but I get overtime, and anything over 40 hours is considered this. But it got me thinking "Holy crap" I could never do that. My FREE time is important to me. But is this commonplace in most software companies? Or is more a rarity to certain types (game development, etc)?
Because it got me scared!
Like I understand having to put some extra hours in for a project... but like 80! that's ridiculous.
