In fact, the United States is close to China, and there is a lot of overtime. Europe, Australia and Canada really seldom work overtime, even if they work overtime, it will not be unpaid overtime. For example, Facebook programmers, 1: 02, it is common to work overtime until midnight. But they don't go to work until two or three in the afternoon, but the total time is over eight hours, isn't it? Of course, it is related to the position, not all positions are like this.

A big difference with China is that working overtime in the United States is voluntary, because I know what problem I want to solve, and I also know that after solving this problem, the later work will be very easy, so I am willing. If I really solve a technical problem, I will wait until I get a promotion or a raise. China is not sure about working overtime, but he said that the xx problem is very serious, and you don't know why it is so serious. Then you stayed up late to fix the problem, and two days later it said there was a serious problem. Over and over again, you never know what you have solved, and you never find that working overtime every day has lightened any burden. It seems that the more you work overtime, the busier you get.
