Interesting. In my first development position back in 1995 (aged 19), I never worked any overtime (paid or otherwise)... and in my second position (which was also my first exclusively web development role) the boss practically forbade anyone from working beyond normal hours - insisting that work-life balance was priority one.

I've followed that ethos ever since.

That's lucky. My first job was at a small startup where this behavior was encouraged and expected, but my current job is much better from this aspect :)
