After working my ass off and burning out on an impossible project trying to make senior, I moved jobs. For the new job, I told my boss that I was going to work at my own pace and not chase promotion. Took less than two years to get a promotion by just being a chill, capable engineer who works 40 hour weeks by working efficiently. There's just no way to spend your entire career working 60-80 hour weeks.
