I remember at my old company we were transitioning to a new terminal operating system that we wrote inhouse. I was in charge of getting all the new hardware deployed and stress testing the software. Working 12+ hour days for weeks with no days off taken. My boss told me to take some time off, wouldnt even charge me PTO for that time off. I told him no, we need to get this done. A little time after that, I realized that I had gotten into a bad groove that scared me... my mentor had literally died of a heart attack during that project. I took a month off after that.

That’s a little heavy. I’ve been a PM for offshore for most my career. I’ve never seen a bill rate more than about $200/hr. Typical rule of thumb is the employee makes half of that, so that’d be $1,200 for a 12 hr day. There might be some extreme case where you work most of the day but engineers offshore aren’t making $2,000 a day. At least not in the US. Offshore Africa with hazard uplift, maybe.

My wife worked for WPX as an office manager. Almost $200,000 year. My wife seen the payrolls. Wife's cousin's husband in Colorado said he's making $2000 a day on a gas rig. Good friend is a senior engineer for WPX. Said he's north of $2,500 a day. Gas drilling in the north east is paying big bucks.
