I chose to work 50 to 60 hours every week most of my life so that I could be successful. If there was an opportunity for overtime, I jumped at it and always said thank you. I took the ‘extra’ money and invested it. Thankfully I was successful at that also.
The result, I retired at 50, quite well to do. My wife retired one year after I did. Grabbing that overtime when I was a youngster was one of the smartest things I ever did.
I get the job done in 40 hours or less and they keep throwing promotions and raises at me. I also work for salary so there is no OT pay, I might have gone your route if there was money in it, but there isn’t.
