Do you guys still get paid working over your usual salaried hours? Like as long as I can get billable hours I get paid for all those hours. For example if I commute to a client site or even work 12 hours at a client site I can still get paid my hourly rate.

Most of us aren’t paid hourly. Same salary regardless of hours worked.

Probably because my company only pays me a fraction of what I am paid per hour.

No, that would incentivize people to take longer to do tasks

We don’t bill clients hourly. They pay us to deliver output to a certain standard, not for hours worked. Our incentives are repeat work and reputation for delivering good work.

Similarly, our consultants aren’t paid hourly. We’re paid to deliver output to a certain standard, not for hours worked. Our incentives are reputation for delivering good work, impacting bonus and promotion.

Nope, that's someone you commonly see at engineering firms but not in consulting. The base pay tends to be much higher though.

Our entry level analysts (college hires) do, but you lose the OT as soon as you’re promoted to Senior Analyst
