I'm sorry, what country are you from? I worked in Russia and now in Malaysia, and it is not common at all to work overtime. Even in f*n' Russia they have to pay you at least 1.5 times (usually twice) for working overtime, and they usually have no right to force you to do it, you can easily ask for two days off for working on Saturday. That's kinda the thing I learned since I started my working experience -- YOU MUST NOT WORK MORE THAN 40 HOURS PER WEEK -- the health is more important. And it's not like there's a problem to find a good job for a qualified programmer, more like it's a problem to find a good programmer.
