I’d say I work 10+ hours on a weekend about twice / year. Many weekends I do little to no work. It’s common to spend an hour catching up on emails and planning the week on a Sunday. (US based Manager).

I think it depends if you’re in deals or not. In deals, you’re expected to work regularly. And I’d say the average is 4 hours a weekend (responding to emails, getting on a call, but very little excel / ppt work).

Thank you - that data point is useful! Trying to crowd source an honest idea here since I don’t know how to ask that question during interviews. Happy to crunch when needed but I value my weekends since I plan on being in this career long term.

Do you know what the culture generally is regarding weekend work?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
