A quick poll. What time is your agency’s official start of the workday? 9am is the most common in my experience but my current agency is 8am. Please include the city or broad location if you would.

Not sure about official, but I’ve always done 10-6 workday (NYC)

8 am is very unusual. Is there a big time difference with a client? Almost all agencies are 9, most ppl roll in between 9:30 and 10.

like

No, it’s not based on a client in a different time zone. And the very loose 9am start is what I’ve experienced everywhere else I’ve been across the U.S., which is why I asked. Thanks.

Start at 10. End between 4:30 and 11.

You don’t need a start time if you don’t have an end time.

9 am EST but weekly status starts at 10am. 8 am is too early. I’ve also had roles 10-6 if it’s CST. I try not to do PST unless it’s a short freelance gig. Knowing myself also helps me turn down what doesn’t fit.

Usually 8:30/9 CST though it varies if working with an East Coast team.
