The crazy long hours are indeed hard (not that I work in the industry, but I have worked 70 hour weeks), but it can be fulfilling. Look at Jeff Green. I don't think he's putting in the same amount of hours that some of the programmers are on his team(s), but the payoff is that he feels creatively fulfilled, which he wasn't getting after GFW shut down. This seems to be the main interest for most people. They get to work on something fulfilling and in my view that's the most important part of any job. Then the hours don't matter so much. If you're gainfully employed right now time is on your side. Talk to people, look at openings and take a chance. But don't forget, you may not be able to play many games anymore. ;) I say give it a go if you find something that fits.
