Almost never forced work weekends unless I’m working on a pitch or something else major. That happens maybe 1-3 times a year.

Sometimes I work weekends on my own accord because I’m bored an/or I’m excited about what I’m working on

Similar. Rarely have to..a few times a year for a pitch or big client meeting. May work to get ahead. [currently watching compliance videos while i clean my apartment 😴]

Almost every single weekend since the beginning of the year.

Not a single weekend, but I'm not a creative.

Fewer than six.

All.

Zero!

Before today? A couple this year. But I started today at 6AM.

At least one, frequently two.

None

A few year almost exclusively for pitches

1 or 0

In a month? 5

0

Every single one…

Almost every weekend since I started working in an agency. But of course I recognized that this is unhealthy. Going to change these soon.

Usually 0

Averages out to two ish

All of them.

depends on whether we’re in production, maybe 1-2 every 4 months.

Most of them.

During heavy production cycles 3 out of 4.

About every other weekend. Perpetual new biz

So I made this bowl awhile ago and I honestly haven’t been on the app in a minute and I’m so happy to see so many people utilizing this!!! I hope you all take time for yourselves and know that you do incredible work every day that is so under-appreciated. On a side note going along with under-appreciated and underpaid: does anyone have suggestions for a side hustle? I need to make more money and I work from home full-time so time commitment isn’t an issue. Thanks I’m advance!

I am in a bit of a good/bad spot. I have worked at Salesforce for close to a year as a consultant. They want to bring back travel to 50%+ post Covid and I am not feeling that motivated to be away from my family that often. I have an opportunity to join a startup as a Sr. PM likely making the same or a tiny bit less. But no travel and not consulting. All internal project. I don’t know what else I should be looking at. I am asking here cause you guys are all smarter than my childhood friends…

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house?
