Is it true that a majority of GPS tech projects at Deloitte require about 45-50 hours a week? Because that’s pretty good wlb, especially if remote work stays relevant. Would love insight from those in GPS

This is mostly true for the fed side. The state, local, and higher education portion have worse hours.

Of course.

Yes

I would say actual project work tends towards 40/week, while FI gets you to the 45-50 range on average, depending on your level. At M+, all bets are off.

This is for the fed side of GPS, can't speak to state and local.

That sounds like great hours for consulting honestly. I’m assuming you mean way more time at M+?

Idk about tech projects specifically, but I’ve averaged 45-50 hours over 2 years with GPS. Pay is a bit less than commercial but still solid, so it evens out I’d say

Definitely seems like a fair trade off to me

I do more than that on average in gps, but I am a SM

Government and public services - so federal or state work mostly

Can confirm — I started consulting doing private and public (live in DC) and the fed projects are generally much slower in pace. You make less $$ in GPS vs commercial but IMO worth it once you break it down hourly (and if WLB is your end goal)

I’d think there are a ton of long-term IT implementation projects you could explore that would provide decent WLB 👍

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
