I’m starting out as an intern and don’t really know what my boundaries should be. I’m trying to do a lot of stuff so that I seem valuable, and the company will hire me. But I can’t keep up with other things in my life. I know that they’ll probably expect me to keep up the pace once I’m hired full time, but I won’t be able to long-term.
Slacking off now or setting reasonable expectations would mean I’m less likely to be hired I think.
But then again, my boss is a really nice and understanding guy. He hasn’t pushed me to work so hard - I did that myself to increase the chances I’ve been hired. Just not really sure what to do.
Nope.

Don’t play the hero.
Fuckin’ A. Even doctors who actually save lives still take time off.
