Don't kill yourself to make other people wealthy. If you are not being paid, don't do the work. I know there are exceptions, you don't have to tell me. I am in a industry where you get fucked over all of the time on zero-overtime because of "reasons". Your time is your life. You only have so much of it to "sell".

I told my boss at the time: “no pay, no work”. Walking away wasn’t easy. They gave me my first shot as a professional coder. I was genuinely sad to leave the office, going with my coworkers to the nearby Subway restaurant, and especially the cat that roamed our office/house workspace. Before the payment drama, this had been an objectively awesome job for a 17 year-old. This was a company that did AR, and other super cool projects for the time. When I started, this company focused in a project for one of Mexico’s efforts for renewable energy. A page for companies to apply for their energy savings grants for commercial builders.
