Surprisingly normal occurrence in the NYC labor market. My friend got a Manhattan Big Law job pulling down six figures, but he was literally sleeping under his desk through the weekend. Eventually, it occurred to him that a six figure salary while working 100+ hrs/week meant effectively working 2.5 jobs at normal-people rates. So he quit, moved back down to Texas, and got an Emails Job that paid slightly less with normal 9-5 hours.

Look at that poor kids dead eyes. Looks like he's about to drift off to sleep.
