We literally are not trying to hire anyone who wants to work 9-6 in consulting path roles and are actively trying to manage recruiting messaging.

And if we can’t attract enough people willing to work longer hours than 9-6, we need to innovate on our value proposition to win more of those who are (because finance, law, medicine, start-ups, etc. have plenty of talent doing this)

If you are good at your job and you get a light week day - celebrate it, don’t overwork yourself. But it is an earned reward or luck of the draw - not an entitlement.

On a regular study basically never. As mentioned above, 6pm is usually “check out” which is really midday check in to see what needs to be complete by morning

like

Less than one per week unless you’re talking about Fri/Sat/Sun night

like

Done at 6pm? 0 times on any case I’ve been on tbh
Done by 7 happens maybe once a week on good cases where the team makes it a point to have one early night per week. This just means you do the work on other nights though, it’s not less weekly work total.
