I'm salaried. There's no getting there early and leaving early. I have to be there whenever required to service customers and staff during working hours. I work from my home office in Idaho with a staff in San Diego, customers in the UK and Germany. Most days I start work at 9 AM (to match 8 AM San Diego) and work until 1 AM. Dinner happens after 9 PM when my wife finishes her workday. Most weeks are 55 to 70 hours. It has been that way for most of the last 30 years. I turn 60 this year. Perhaps I'll slow down to 40 hour weeks and have some play time like most other people.

I’m salaried, there’s most definitely getting there and leaving early. You just have to work somewhere sane, and be sane yourself. As one of my first bosses always drilled into us: nobody’s tombstone says “I should have spent more time at work”. At my company we kick ass, we get the job done, we understand that if we’re working over time it’s because something went wrong and we don’t do that again, and that let’s us have lives and stuff.
