OK, how do you define not getting a day off? Does that include weekends? Do you get PTO/Sick Leave? Are you just doing a 40 hour week over 7 days instead of 5?

$500/hr for a 40 hour week is a million dollar a year, but if you are legitimately working 7 days a week with no time off at all you probably aren't going to last very long.

Assuming an 8 hour work day, I would be on board. If nothing else I can just work it as long as I can until I collapse. After a year, with income tax taken out, it is still close to $1 million. Even just a month would be around 100k.

hell yes. I won't like it, but its gonna allow me to retire wayyyyy earlier so it works out in the long run. plus there will still be time to do things after work. now if we're talking like 14-16+ hr work days where you pretty much have no time to do anything except work/eat/shower/sleep then that I will have to think about.

Easily. When I was in the military on deployments and out to sea we would go months at a time with not only no day off but working about 20 hours a day. I did 5 years of that before getting out.

If this is just 8 hours a day with no day off, so a 56 hour work week. Easy. I could definitely do a few years of this and then go into early retirement.

Depends on the work...

If it was some computer/desk job programming/music production/graphic etc of course I'll take it in a heartbeat (even better if remote/work from home) but if it's some manual labor (like Messenger Delivery) oh hell no my legs will give out after awhile.

Like the others said I would probably do it for like 6mos then quit.

I'd do it for like a year or 2 and then quit. Since my current job is already strenuous enough that it's almost like not having days off, it wouldn't be a hard adjustment (film worker). I work at least 12 hours a day, so I'd pull $2.19 a year gross. That said, it's be almost impossible to work 12 hours a day, ever day, so I'd have to switch to 8 lol.

By the very nature of the question, it can't amount to more than 40 hours a week, so sure, I'd do that for a few years.

500$ an hour is a lot on its own, even few weeks of work would already grant nice payout. If it's 8 hour work days I'd probably work for a month or so and take my 100k and go on living my life with a little extra cash fund on the side lol

Why would I not get a day off? That makes no sense.

It's good to pay but not THAT much, 182,500 BEFORE taxes so you'd have to sacrifice a few years for it to really be worth it IMO. Maybe work 5 years and save like crazy and then quit and take a loooong vacation.

I'm going to assume this means a normal 8 hour work day, 7-days a week.

Hell yes I'd do it. That's $1,460,000 in a single year.

If it's standard hours of 8/day or 40/week, no.

If I can just do 1 hour or 2 a day like I was some sort of international trader, I would do it.

The topic is interesting without details.

The title suggests it is hourly pay, so that means you work hourly, not commission or salary.

If you work hourly, you cannot work more than 40 hours in a week, otherwise you legally have to get overtime. Thus, one should assume 40 hours a week, maximum.

"No day off" suggests you work 7 days a week, but since the hourly bit means you can't work over 40 (or else it becomes greater than $500/hr), that means 40 hours spread over 7 days.

Thus, based on the topic, I would work a few years at $500/hr, 40 hours a week, over 7 days.
