Is the 4 day work week 50 hours crammed into 4 days?

Iām not really looking but am slightly tempted to talk to recruiter as its a SV job and may be able to match my total comp but Iām really golden handcuffed as I got my RSU grant 3 years ago when the stock was 1/4 what it is now.
OK Iāll talk to a recruiter for the first time in 4 years this will be a thing. My first question is āhow do your employees like their 10 hour days?ā
Iām hoping that the troubling times we live in will allow software people to get SV wages and not live in SV guess weāll see, if I canāt get a 20% bump in TC forget it.

My wife was in a situation like that when she took a VP roll at a different company. She had a ton in unvested RSUs at the place she was leaving so they couldnāt match everything she was walking away from but she did negotiate a big signing bonus based on that.

Itās definitely possible to get SV wages at least on the non coding/dev side of the business.

Given that USA#~17 aināt giving up a 40-hr work week, Iād much rather work 4 10s than 5 8s.
I work 80 in 9 and take every other Friday off. Think itās the best of both worlds.
Software place Iām at no one works more than 30hrs a week, but they donāt pay very well* considering they are SF based - not even the principles make that much. (clients are mostly non-profits)
*not really complaining. I love it there.

ya with 1 wife and no kids 10 hour days isnāt a huge deal just pretty hilarious this place advertises 4 days a week but not that they still expect 40 hours. Iām gonna talk to them again why not as it was heavily implied that I could get what I think is a 50% total comp bump and theyāve already IPOed successfully. Still canāt figure out what the fuck they really do or what a āERPā is.
I donāt see how they can expect you to put in full effort for an entire 10 hour day of erotic roleplay.

Today, after telling a project manager in a different business unit that we couldnāt meet his requested timelines, I got the old ācopy in people higher and higher up the ladderā routine, presumably thinking I would change my tune once higher ups were in the communication. Like, if I thought we could do it I wouldnāt have said we couldnāt when first requested by the project manager. I feel like changing my tune when a director and then a VP gets copied in would make me look worse. So of course I just copied and pasted the same response 3 times.

Waitā¦ at your job they donāt start by copying half the c-suite, and escalate from there? Rookies.
Lol gratuitous email copying. The worst.
Definitely, I worked a manual labor job for the county that was 4 10s and it was awesome. 3 day weekends easily worth the 2 extra hours per day
