Work life balance in any job comes down to you and the expectations you set with your supervisor. Consulting has its peaks and valleys all the time. I would say that this tends to get a little tougher as you become more senior because sometimes it's tough to balance delegation vs time/quality with the team structure you have. What I've learned through my career, is that you need to establish/recognize your lieutenants (people you trust to delegate to) very early on. If projects are poorly estimated staffing-wise, we need to be comfortable to raise this up to leadership very fast and and propose some possible options to fix the issue withour leadership's support. Unfortunately, this is where most people fail and take on the burden of extra workload and either burn out themselves and/or their team. Remember that you can't be responsible for some else's crappy estimates.

Haven’t worked over 50 hours but maybe one time in the last year.

I’d say 30% of the time I’m not even working 40 hours per week

Wow, and are you considered full time?

Full time and work maybe 20 hours a week. Fridays are essentially off. But it does vary by project. Current one has been awesome thankfully.

Highly dependent on project. Have had some 50-55+, right now I’m probably doing real work for 25-30 hours but billing 40 since the project is going well. East coast client so I’m done by noon-2pm on Fridays

Follow up question. Most responses so far are working less than 40 hours a week. Are you fulfilled by the work and career opportunity at Accenture?

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

How is everyone dealing with the overpriced car prices? Been in the market for a while searching for a car between leasing a car from a dealership and buying used from FB. I’m fine with either option, especially since it’s going to be my first car, but not for $6k above MSRP. Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated
