I just joined a start-up and last week I was working 12-15 hours a day. My last job was also at a start-up, where I regularly worked 12 hours days. There came a point where I had to be admitted to hospital due to exhaustion.

How do I avoid this at my new job? I don't want to over work. I want to work for 8 hours and then spend rest of my time living my life. I'd really like some genuine advice.

Always give priority to health. Don't think about work always. Anyway companies earn a lot of money whether you're working or not, so ensure work life balance.
Hope you got it 😊.
