You have WLB with the exception of a lunch break. By consulting standards - this is the dream

Normal, assuming you get an hour lunch / break in there

I do 630am -->2 or 3 pm depending on the day (Mondays and Fridays i work closer to like 830 --> 230. If european vendors or east coast team is slugging it out then I will stay online longer.

4:30pm on a Friday? F that…hours are too intense

funny

wait is this a serious question?

Isn't this a normal 8.5 hour day of work (assuming you take an hour lunch)?

8 to 9 hr a day with short Fridays is pretty good imo.

are you at ZS?

Would you do it for $110 though?

@OP If it's a travel project that's not unusual. Definitely balance your work too, you can leave if you get your deliverables done, or you need to take a load off. Just communicate that to your lead, or coworkers that might stop by for you.

Also, consider your stress level, is this above what you expect or kosher?

You get these type of work hours only with union jobs and hourly paid jobs. Be prepared to get the pay in the same way (fixed and less)

Dreamy

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
