I agree completely. That's why I work 70+ hours Every week. 60 is for losers

Didn’t mean to offend anyone with this post despite how it sounds. But I just question how people can justify consistent 60+ work week. I understand that there may be situations where we need to pull those hours but it shouldn’t be the “norm”. Also, this post was to call out folks who seem to take pride in working x hours a week.

I think OP meant that you should be able to be more efficient. 60+ hours of concentrated work would produce so much every week

I’m not saying it’s sustainable long term, but I sure as hell have had to put in those kind of hours to meet client expectations.

Hello ,

My experience is 1.2 years and I am being offered to move to Oslo,Norway to work from the onsite location.
Is it a good choice to move to Norway? What benefits does a person get when they move to an onsite location ?
Please suggest whether it is a good option to choose an onsite project or stay in India, and switch after some time?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
