I don't think most of us want to work these hours but we don't feel comfortable setting 9-5 boundaries when we were told during the recruiting process to expect late nights.

Been in consulting for 5 years in mixture of FS and private sector work. When I started it felt like 25% did 11 hour days, 65% - 9.5 hour days, 10% - 8 hour days. Now it’s probably more like 10:80:10, which I think is far healthier, do sometimes miss the occasional hardcore squeaky sprint to get a deadline though..

Nobody ever missing them sprints stop lying lol

I work 8 hours any time I can so I can work 14 when I absolutely need to.

This is my thinking as well. Always told those juniors staying behind to not leave before their line manager that some days you won't get the choice.
