First Week as a SWE at a VC

A genuine question to those with VC or this kind of "spec ops coder" experience: is this kind of work worth it? I mean, yes, they are badass for putting in insane hours and foregoing everything else in life, but it seems a waste to spend this effort on a yet-another mess of an MVP held together with gum, twine, and duct tape.

So much drama for a work of week.<p>Everything is an odyssey these days.<p>&quot;oh, they asked me to work before the agreement time&quot;, &quot;they work during the weekend&quot;, what&#x27;s the surprise? Sounds like a normal startup work.<p>VCs most of the time have no clue what they are doing but will behave as if they had built Meta or Google.

Sounds awful for anyone who values work-life balance and code that isn&#x27;t poorly hacked together at the last minute.
