In the end, do what you are comfortable with. Realize that a job is a transaction between you and the employer. He / she has an expectation of you and in turn you get paid for fulfilling that expectation. If you over achieve, hopefully he realizes that and rewards you. If not, take your skills elsewhere.

At one point in my career, I decided that working for someone else, wasn't working anymore. So I started working for myself. I was / am hard on myself, but when I do well I reward myself. When I don't, I suck it up and try to do better.

In the end, I found what I love and did it well. One client asked me why I do what I do. He said he couldn't do it, wouldn't like it. I asked him what he did after 5 PM. He said he was still working.

I told him I shut off at 5 and pick up the next day. And I didn't have to do all the corporate BS stuff that takes time but doesn't really achieve anything. He looked at me and nodded. He now understood.
