don't waste your life working 12+ hours a day for someone else.

I'm amazed at some of the stories I hear of people working such crazy hours. I bet they weren't paid for the hours they worked either. My company takes work/life balance seriously, we're strictly 40 hours a week.

Worked for a startup, pushing toward a major launch we basically lived in the office for 72 hours straight. Got everything set up for the public launch/demo (think keynote at a trade show), and they still had the gall to try to do documentary style interviews with us. They thought it was going to be the next big thing.
Unfortunately, despite our efforts try to be a coherent the results of the video interviews were completely unusable.

It depends, when I was a junior dev, I had to work for someone else to gain experience.

Such a hard work might be reasonable with proper compensation, say, x2 or even x3 for the extra hours.
