Good question. When I joined as fresher I worked 14-15 hours a day, thinking that working harder and longer I can become more competitive. But, the day I started working 8-9 hours, health wise I felt good and work wise I saw a better output. Work shorter hours and work harder during that hours

My personal opinion is your hard work, your team work and your never give up attitude is what that makes your career shine. Get your hands dirty. Don't just wait for training, teaching and spoon feeding.
