I’d ask the senior as well (if there is one). I know when I was in public I made sure any of my staff did not work that much and if they had a lot of work I would allocate some back to myself so we could all work around the same amount so there was not a staff working 85 and I work 65, tried my best to be fair all around
The team is so lucky to have you as a leader.
My dad hit 120 during a holiday week doing programming for retail systems. Shit hit the fan that week. I was a kid and still remember that week. Thought he was going to have a heart attack. That week shaped me as a person - it made me determined to prioritize a career where I would only need to work 40-45 hours per week and never be on call. Industry is where it's at. There's no such thing as an accounting emergency.
I'm glad to read that folks have better hours. I've been trying to find just that. I thought about industry, but it looks like it's a hard hit every month end, quarter close, and year end especially for public companies but even private. Are your hours pretty manageable around that time, and if so, what makes things different for you? I'm asking cause I'm trying to figure out my next best step to improve work-life balance.
92 hours during MSFT SOX testing
I absolutely hit 100 hours at a previous firm many times.
120 was my highest, but I’ve only broken 100 like 3 times in almost 6 years.
I’m assuming work got accomplished? Look through time report comments.
Have gone over 100 twice and worked 80+ for two months in a row once early in my career. Have not broken 80 in more than 5 years though. Now that I manage the engagements, I try to avoid that shit as best we can.
About 90
around 55 hours in a busy week
The highest I ever did was 116 hours leading up to a 10/15 deadline. Only time that I needed in order to realize that a job is not worth your mental and physical health.
Working 100 hours per week is exceptionally high and may lead to decreased productivity. In my opinion, such extensive hours could result in inefficiencies. Typically, my weekly working hours do not exceed 50. However, it is essential to assess whether the workload is disproportionately heavy for a single staff member
It’s not quality work at those hours. I’ve hit like 72 once and made sure I’d never hit that again. Trying to do a steady 53-55 Feb 15-April then figure out Oct
I've done 100 hours in a week when I was in audit, but that hasn't happened in a long time. Not sure if mix of more experience plus tech making things faster. I rarely get to 60 hours a week even during busy season, these days.
I'd say I'm a little surprised, depending on their list of work which we wouldn't know. Any insight there?
Probably had a few 90-100 hour weeks but not too often
130 is the most I've worked. Literal hell and do not recommend. Outside that one week, generally, the most I've worked is 80-90 a week around deadline weeks.
can't believe all you guys keeping track of your max hrs in a week. just get on with the job and if it feels like too much - move. just saying!
97 I think.
That was common to hit more than 100 during my time in Singapore as I spent time with my colleagues in the office until 3-4 am every day
I've worked over 100 three or four times
I've done 140+ countless times. Used to be standard where I worked
93.2
I once hit 40 hours by Tuesday. Keep in mind our work week starts on Saturday. But I was still shocked when I realized it.
