Do people actually spend a solid 12 hours a day doing work or are you just killing time?The output of work done in 60 hours work week seems abysmal and more like 20 hours of a dedicated effort.

6 hours looking at Instagram and memes and 6 hours working (bathroom breaks during the latter 6 hours only, it’s policy)

so you sweat and clench your way through memes and insta? sounds painful

A lot of time spent stuck in meetings, waiting for work/comments to turn around so I’m tied to my laptop, waiting for excel to stop (Not Responding), etc.

I barely ever work 12 hours per day. A normal day is probably 4 hours but it ebbs and flows depending on projects and level of effort.

I definitely do pretty much every day. I think the more senior you get, the fewer things you are truly waiting on review for, and the more that is on your plate. Eventually you have to start deprioritizing otherwise it is impossible to fit everything into the day

Really depends on the project. When I say I am working 12 hours a day on a project (billable) it’s likely a 14 or 15 hour day at the computer if you account for admin work, eating, mini-breaks throughout the day, etc.

I work constantly.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
