Sounds horrible. My day is wake up at 7, have breakfast, work from 8.20 or so, stop working at 15.30 or so (depends on my energy and what I decide to do).
I sleep at 22.30 so there are lots of hours to do what I want.
This is a very typical life for IT workers where I live (western Europe, not USA).
It’s not common in the US but there are decent jobs, they are just very competitive to get and people rarely leave them aside from retirement so turnover is very slow compared to shitty places with high staff turnover. It took me several years working experience, a degree, and a bit of luck to land one. Currently working IT in the US 10-5 with on call rotation a couple times a year, good salary in low-ish cost of living area, pension, 401k, a little over a month off a year PTO plus holidays that increases with seniority, mostly reasonable people to work with and for, etc.
The secret sauce is around 10% of the workforce is union and strikes are fairly regular to protect workers rights that affect both union and non union workers.

This is about the same as my schedule, I do IT in the USA as well.
