Do you all have late evening meetings with your US counterparts?

At what time do you log off ?

Are there companies that let you enjoy your evenings?

Having only US counterparts will be tough to have a free evening,
Since thats the only time everyone gets for a handoff and updates
You can have some time off by your own once in two weeks
Keep a private appointment and enjoy your eveng

Agile has made it worse with more meetings and less time to do actual work. It used to be just 1 meeting with onsite coordinator and that's it in the waterfall days

True

In European or Australian companies you don't have to wait in evening for calls because of less time difference, so you can enjoy your evenings, but that totally depends on projects too. Even in some US projects you finish your calls by 6pm and then can leave.

I was for europe project and CET timings. As AM had to work 10 am to 12 pm. And no over time. That's the work culture in Accenture

I have only heard of product companies where you don't have meeting during late evening.

Never in an IT service based companies

Even in product based companies you would be having distributed teams and you would be having stand-up calls at their start of day ( US ).

And we indians have to follow their timings in most of the cases.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
