Going to start a project where I’m going to work 11AM to 9PM so I have sometime overlapping with Asia. Thoughts on how to adjust to this schedule?

It sounds fabulous to me, assuming you can still sign off by 10pm and take a normal dinner break

Adjust to that schedule? How does that require adjustment? That’s a dream come true.

Sounds amazing to me - I currently work 7:30 to at least 11:00, so this just means you can fit in a couple more hours of sleep and the gym in the morning.

I’ve never heard of a consultant having an actual schedule, I average 14-15 hours of work a day, I like to start early so most of my days start before 8am, meaning I work until ~11 at night.

That’s nice that they at least let you start at 11! I frequently have calls until 10pm with teams in Asia and we still have to be at the client site from 8-6.

That is my dream schedule!

You should wake up early like 5am and ask then to work late instead lol.

Should make it easier to stay out until 5 AM on the weekends. Get your dancing shoes on!! 🍺

I usually work 9am until 11pm on any project.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.
