Day 7 一、回答问题 Many people dream of becoming a programmer for a major tech company because they can get high pay. However, it may mean having to accept overtime work. In fact, working overtime has been common for workers in China's Internet companies for many years, but debate about the practice heated up recently online. These days, many Chinese tech companies follow a "996" work schedule. This means their workers have to start work at 9 a. m, and finish at 9 p. m., six days a week.

If you don't spend more time than others, how will you get the success you want?" Many have questioned Ma's thinking.
