Fellow product marketers, do you, or know other PMMs, that work strictly 40 hours a week? Curious how common this is in our role.

I work 40 hours a week unless I’m in the final stages of a launch.

I used to do that. I found a system that worked for me and allowed me to work 25 hrs a week. As long as my tasks are completed, I don't get any complains.

I generally do 40hr weeks. Depends on the week though and the product cycle.

I typically work 30 hours a week. But I definitely spend more time, that usually takes me 10 hours more, weeks or days before a product launch.

I don’t really monitor or count. I know that leading up to or during a launch, I will probably work more hours. My perspective is that at this level some weeks may require more hours than others. I also have moments when I’m not working where I have an epiphany, idea, or urge to work on something.I hop on the computer and complete the work or task

I know there’s an increasing culture of working only the hours you get paid, and I get that. Given the coverage and workload of a product marketer, I’m surprised that some folks are able to keep that strict work schedule. Though they’re typically at the junior level.

Yes. I have almost always worked under a 40 hour limit as a product marketer. There will always be some exceptions, like around a big launch or planning time. If you're finding yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week every week, re-evaluate and re-prioritize.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.
