LOL I get it, no judgment here but when I end up doing the work of my PMs because we are understaffed and you are responsible for $10M portfolio, the hours don’t make a difference is the stress and responsibilities that add up. But I get your point.

45-50 average, occasionally more if on a big production. Most weeks have a couple days 9-6 where no matter what I cut out and go to the gym, couple days 9–7/8, then one day 12-14 hours ish where my workload catches up to me, there’s an internal, or shooting / casting / editing whatever taking the whole day leaving me to do my actual work at night. Probably work about one Saturday a month.

Compared to previous gigs, this is the best work life balance I’ve ever had, and I’m probably a lot better off than many others on this thread.

For context I work about 40, some weeks though it’s 50-60 but they’re scattered and not quite often. This is at a major agency.

like

if I’m scoping, budgeting, meeting vendors like 40-45. If I’m in pre-pro, shooting (depending if I’m line producing) or in post closer to 55-60.

20-30 but I'm client side, and things are picking up.

35-45 and I juggle multiple gigs

Honestly on average probably ~30 hours. Lately it’s been a full 40 hours of consistent work lest I slack off and it spills into my personal time.

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car.
