Team/project specific situation. I wouldn’t let that fly on my team.

There's a crazy push for profitability and wins. We win with lower prices than try to recover profitability by overworking salaried resources. No wonder the best people are leaving.
That's life in a publicly traded company that needs to report and hit estimates on a quarterly basis.
Funny thing is that this is the kind of short term thinking that we advise our clients to avoid.

Overall including projects, proposals, executive meetings, plus ones etc.

I think it’s a matter of self imposed expectations for output combined with too many possibilities for ways to use time.

My philosophy…. If your project lead is doing everything they can to keep your hours reasonable, they will leave it up to you to manage the rest of your time.

My wife is a M on a large engagement and has not had to work weekends and generally has a fairly consistent 40-50 hours each week

I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
