velocitypsycho··on Why I am leaving the best job I ever had
You'd be surprised how many places I've heard of that would give push back on that.

They tend to be small startups that haven't had to "grow up" yet.

It can be done, that said, it can't be done in most startups.

Many startups are composed of mid-twenties white males. The culture of work becomes 10am to 8pm, then go drinking.

If you have a family, you could work 7am to 3:30pm and be out the door in time to see your family, then work some more at night. But you'll get glares, and eventually you won't be a "team player" or whatever they decide to make up.

If you can find a startup run by people with children it can be a good fit, but you don't know until you interview.
