I grew up in China, the “996” schedule to work from 9 am to 9 pm, 6 days a week comes to Silicon Valley

It stimulates the market, as it re -evaluates the great talent, with novice employment through the ecosystem. There is one subcontinent that continued to appear while reporting a piece that I wrote about New rules for startup employmentBut I could not include it in the original story – 996.

996, for beginners, is a working schedule indicating from 9 am to 9 pm, from six days a week. It grew up in China, but in the months and years, it has gained strength in technology in technology and startups. In 2025, 996 became common during the mutation of artificial intelligence, until it appeared in the recruitment process.

“From some of the companies that make executive wounds, I heard that some artificial intelligence companies – not global but in specific cases – are looking to include 996 items in employment contracts,” said Jin Holsstrom, a prominent capital partner. ))

This fact danced in my head as if it were clogging. Since the competition for Amnesty International and the AI-A-Macent Talent is the main one ever, pushing for a return to the office, and at the end, 996 intense at the same time.

“The thing is that if you find the best performance, they are more likely to work for six days a week in any case,” said Athli Thorklason, Vice President of the Redpoint Talent Network. “They do not necessarily want to say in an interview that he is an advertiser. But if they are already purchased, and they enjoy their work, they are likely to do more than 9-5 anyway.”

Ultimately, I and Thorkelsson agreed: Although hard work will always be in a style in the Silicon Valley, 996 will not be for everyone forever.

“I don’t know how long this will be in fashion,” he said. “While using different jobs, people have different expectations. If you are emerging in the very early stage, especially in artificial intelligence, you are likely to hire a lot of young people. In the early twenties, it is imagined that you can register to go to the office six days a week. But when you put driving and other jobs, when you reach a hundred -people couples, I have a difficult time to see.”

We see you tomorrow
