2016 Employed fulltime and working on a startup. 70 - 80h weeks.

Trew in the towel on the startup after a disastrous launch and after multiple clashes with the "management". Learned a lot and would do it again. But i would throw in the towel earlier. It's okay to work hard for a time. But it's not sustainable.

Keep your goal in mind and work towards it. Hard work should at some point pay off. If there is no improvement in sight and things do not get better... Run!
