Indianapolis corporate work culture is 9am-5pm with most major holidays off -- like most of the American Midwest.
California tech worker culture can involve a lot of toxic overtime and abusive overworking. Lots of fresh grads from both the CSU and UC systems end up working for California's tech giants because of networking/connections made at university; however, what most of them don't know is that when you turn 35 at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, CA the sequence from Logan's Run plays out as the ageism is very real for those who can't work 60+ hour weeks on the regular.
what most of them don’t know is that when you turn 35
Wouldn't most of them have transitioned to less demanding well paid jobs elsewhere by that point or am I wrong? But yeah I get your point about the toxic work culture perpetuated in the Valley.
