Among consulting, ibanking, software devs, etc, is there any where you actually can expect to be paid overtime for...well...overtime??

As a consultant, its a no for me.

SWEs can get paid for overtime if they’re on-call for a critical product. On-call rotates among the engineers of that team each week

I never cared about OT, I was just wondering because my friends in other less busy fields act like I'm on crack and being conned when I tell them this 😂
I tell them it's nbd and expected but I recently started wondering if I really was just delusional.

You still make more money than people with jobs that do pay overtime so... don’t see how it’s a con

Some engineers get OT (utilities, gov’t, etc) but I’ve never heard of it for any software engineering roles.

I believe all of the restructuring firms have some variable component of salary determined by number of hours worked. Either on a quarterly or annual basis.

Law firms often have bonuses based on hours billed

One way to look at it is that overtime is baked into our high salaries. I knew some people who weren't fans of my longer hours without overtime pay, but I made like twice what they did even after they did overtime.

Oh, and you can get overtime on 1099 consulting work.

Accenture gets paid over time at entry level. I made an extra 35k my first two years 👍

I got paid OT @ level 11 (ACN)

Junior Dev presents an issue they’re having. I hint to the fact that it may be framework related (this is a very simple fix). The questions they are asking seem out of context, so I ask if they have done any framework related research generally, as our entire application is built on top of this. They answered no, they have been here for months, and it’s not like this wasn’t in the job description. Am I missing something here? Trying to be helpful but stuff like this is frustrating.
