996 - it's a global marketplace of talent and very few in America are willing to work 996. If you are, you either are the founder type or young and unshackled.

I worked with what are effectively 996ers in software, they largely drag on projects because they value neither their own time nor anyone else's.

Labor laws in California make infeasible (for good reason). The kinds of jobs going into 996 won't pay enough for exempt status, so that's 32 hours of overtime a week.
