I have friends working in Asia rn. They say work culture is 9am to 12am every weekday, every week, without fail because of the Asian power distance culture. Is this true even at agencies? Or worse?

I think this varies by country and agency. Where I am, we work in our office 9-6, then go home, break for dinner, then work some more till midnightish. But others may not have the luxury of working from home. Japan and Korea and China are worse off than us (Southeast Asia).

In normal companies here, I could go home at 6/7pm and not have to bring work home.

Or, is this different by country? I'm interested in learning what your typical office hours are like by country.
