I’m working 20 hour weeks for 240. Turned down a job offer making 300 because I knew I’d be working 40+ hours a week. Not worth it. I’m happy with my free time
Implementation consultant but 10 yoe. Act like everything takes you longer than it actually does
No, cause im a slave to the money 🤑
No. My financial obligations don't scale down just because my work hours do.

I’m making 180k working 40, I wouldn’t agree to any fewer hours, but would be open to increasing to 50.

There’s definitely a level I’d accept that cut at, just not in my current situation.
If I was making like 300k at 60 hours, I’d for sure take a cut to 250 at 50 hours, but not to 200 at 40
1/3rd is a lot to swallow at any comp tbh

No, I wouldn’t cut my salary by 1/3 in order to cut my hours by that amount
No. I need the extra 40k and the marginal hours needed at the same job to get the 40k will be less stressful than taking on a 2nd job that would be willing to pay that much of a salary.
At the current job, all the admin, relationships, work setup, travel, etc. is already set up/been incurred. So there’s no added “overhead” to those extra 20 hours.

I'd take a 20% haircut to work max 40 hours a week, but only because that's still 30k more than I need to live comfortably.

Depends on your age. Your family situation, your financial needs, and perhaps many other factors.
In 3 more years I will happily take 40 hrs at a lower pay.
Also just one consideration: I‘d rather work 60h on weekdays not noticing any difference and just having a few hours less of Netflix then having significantly less pay. Weekend would be other story since only week days are usually packed with work anyway. Also I always care about the real personal profit margin (deducting your fixed cost/living expenses and then just considering the rest). Would you agree?
Wow a lot of people here are saying no. Have you considered that I’ll also say no?
Actually I am a bit surprised since everybody is talking about WLB nowadays. Seems that WLB ends where money starts 🤑
A couple thoughts
1) Where a person has been successful in reducing their weekly hours, it's generally because of their own initiative and not because of managers / leadership supporting it.
2) Factors that influence your ability to be able to control your hours: you possess a high demand / low supply skill set, you are articulate in group settings, you are effective at delegation, you are skilled at deflection of work requests / thoughtful avoidance of bullshit work.
3) There are a lot of factors where taking a step back in your career is the right move - health, care giving, family, education, etc. Generally early on in your career you want to chase higher pay / growth opportunity/ development, and then at some point you may decide to take your foot off the gas.
I wouldn’t accept either...not enough money, at least not for where I live. And I’m not regularly working 60 hour weeks.
