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.

35-60, depending on many factors.

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.

Friends, need your help and suggestions. I am a 40 year old male. Used to work like a horse, had lot of energy and very high learnability. Increasingly, I am finding it difficult to focus/concentrate and learn new things. Is this about the age or I can take some remedial measures? Thanks much.

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
