Depends what is sustainable for you. I’ve had one project at 55 hours/week. The rest have been 60-75+, with the majority hovering around 65 Depends a bit on office (South has a reputation for long hours, which is where I am).
Good luck!
Do those numbers include travel or no?

Our regions are West Coast, Great Lakes, NE, South, and Canada. I think Denver is the only non-intuitive one. It’s relatively new and was ramped up by Dallas Partners.
Just joined the SEA branch and can tell you they expect a lot of independence from day one and that you’re expected to “slot in” and adjust and just get with the program. People naturally stay late every night to do work.
I think people miss the point sometimes with culture. In my experience, pressure rarely comes from long hours or repetitive but easy work. It actually is the “difficulty level” of the projects and the expectations of people you work with that makes it tough. If you knows exactly what you have to do and can do it with a couple of hours, it’s not a problem most of the time to put in those extra hours and get the work done. It’s when tasks are unclear, clients or partners are challenging that you’ve got an uphill battle.
