If you have to work those hours then you are being "used". Unless you have major equity (5%+) Your are just being a tool for the founders to get rich. That's it. Your equity is not worth it, plus you will never get those months/years back.
Find another job, where you can have normal hours, and can have time for friends, fun, and hobbies, and creating an app, or open source project/whatever rocks your boat.
Life is too short to spend every minute of it making somebody else rich.
Could not agree more. There is a reason 8-hour working days were instated, even for uncreative, manual labour.
Most people, including most of the best, are simply more productive and creative if they want to make their time in the office count, rather than count their time in the office.
Having a life is the most important thing in life, and unless you are a founder or have significant equity and can reasonably expect your work to buy you retirement before you are 35-40, then you are exploiting yourself.
