Do salaried employees typically work 8.5 hrs (including lunch) or is lunch included in a regular 8 hour shift?

Salaried employees do not typically work “shifts”. Eother way, the answer to the question is highly dependent on firm and industry. In finance we generally take lunch at desk and work from 8-5 or 8-6; in consulting it was all over the place- my team generally ate lunch together, I saw many teams eating at their desk. At my first firm (also finance) people went out to get food but often ate at their desk.

I typically work 9 and just eat lunch somewhere in there. Some days I will work 8 and take an hour but lately I have not had time/haven’t wanted to work later/earlier to make up for it.

Depends. I work 9-6 sadly in auto industry. One hour lunch is automatically accounted for.

Our company is flex on this. You can do 8.5 hours and take 1/2 hour lunch or do 9 hours and take 1 hour lunch. Either way your working hours are supposed to be 8. We are also flexible on the times if you are not customer facing.

I work 8-4:30 and have a 1 hour lunch. I work 7.5 hours per day.

I work based on what needs to get done. It can be 35-80 hours/week

I’m “available” from 7am - 4pm.
I usually only work about 5 hours a day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My hours are all over the place (6 hour days to 18 hour days, normally around 9) and so are my lunches (I’ll take 20 minutes, an hour and a half, or just eat at my desk). Meal breaks aren’t typically required or monitored for salaried employees, and although some have regular hours, typically you can set your schedule as long as you get your work done.

included obviously

7.5 hours of work not including lunch. I often work over so I take time back too!

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
