2015 econ job market, an interview for a a postdoc position with a renowned economist, I was asked "how much stress can you deal with?", "How many hours non-stop can you work, or have ever worked?" "How many holidays do you really have to take?" I did not get this job.
I worked basically non-stop every day of the week, from the moment I woke up (first thing I did was checking my email) to the moment I went to bed. No work/life balance, no separation of personal and professional lives. Gender issues were also perceived. 4/19
