I am soon to be a new grad and looking to grind. Looking for a place to grind out 70-80 hours a week for a few years to reach Financial Independence then switch to a lifestyle practice or academic. A few of my classmates share the same mentality. I think it’s called Coast FIRE (with or without the RE). The hard part is finding a place without a heavy and long taxation i.e buy-in.
I think every generation thinks the next generation is lazier and less motivated yet we ended up working similar amount of hours unless older people in your groups work more hours than the young ones consistently, which I doubt is the case.
We have plenty of new grads who work very hard. They pick up extra trauma call and volunteer for optional OB call. We have some real workaholics taking heart call too. It varies by individual but I haven’t noticed a generational shift over the past 20+ years. My observation may have some selection bias because our compensation is productivity based so you are rewarded for hard work.
