Project and team dependent

Weekend time isn't perceived in the same way but generally weekend work is low. However, deadlines need to be met and as necessary it's extra time to get the work done, which isn't an infrequent situation given tight timelines and client-driven urgencies/delays.

Although there is a minor increase in the regular number of hours, both titles usually work similar amounts once they are comfortable in their role and a value add to the team.

SC, working 60-75 hrs a week. However, still new to the firm/consulting and getting used to the work streams etc so think as I get more efficient the 75 hr weeks will be less common .

I’m a new patent prosecution associate and unfortunately only just now realized that maybe prosecuting patents isn’t something I want to do long term. I loved copyright (and trademark) in law school, but I have loans to pay off. Should I stick it out in my current role to pay them off before I jump ship to a new practice area or will I be pigeonholed forever to patents if I stay here for 2-3 years?

Has anyone found roles in Big 4 or industry that allowed more work life balance when their kids were young without damaging future career trajectory?

Wishful, but my dream job would have a lighter workload in terms of time and pressure for the next ~5 years, but not set me back too much (or at all) when the kids are older and tired of me in a few years and I'm ready to be back at work full force.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
