Never once in my life
Booz Allen doesn’t pay us enough to pull all nighters. If you’re doing that with any regularity than you’re Booz Allening wrong. I’ve worked late occasionally but have never been close to pulling anything near an all nighter.
Did 2 all nighters in the first year of my career, at a different firm....0 in the next 2 years, at firm 2....and 3 in week at firm 3 (a serious clusterfuck and I placed out shortly after).
Perhaps 2x a year.
Once in 5 years for work
0
Not since grad school. I wish I cared enough about my job to pull an all nighter.
@SC1 definitely not pulling all nighters, just asking generally
@SA1 Absolutely. Description is based on a friend I know who works for an investment banking company in NY and pulled one a week. That’s where the timeframe stems from.
Would be interested to know if work schedule varies by public/private, region, position level, etc.
I once worked til 3am to make a deadline but was sent home early the next day to sleep lol. Have never done anything else close since college
Maybe twice in the last ten years, both when I was in the Army
Twice in 20 years. Both times on complex RFPs with large deal teams
I had one six week project (not at Booz) where I did 5. Those were it though.
1 every other 2 weeks. Don’t do hybrid agile
Only for my own stupid reasons - def not work
Because you are often really forced to agree to all three parts of the triangle cost, time, and scope is hybrid agile and everything works in two week sprints, you end up pushing too much into sprints and having a day of hell at the end of every sprint.
Zero. Stopped that in my twenties
Generally once a week
I don’t think all nighters should ever be thought of on a weekly basis regardless of firm, that should absolutely be a once in a blue moon kind of situation. In 3 years of consulting I’ve done 2 all nighters, both with very specific project reasons.
@D1 hybrid Agile?
