Happens rarely - i had a case on a long-term client which was great WLB but even then i logged off at 6 but added 2h or so at night again

I've had cases that were 40-45. It was great! 50-55 is an average case

1 - this is highly case and team dependent though and can also be a function of how willing I am to power through the day.

1 max

Typically 1 night of M-Th per week (plus always an early Friday finish), but I can always get more on a given week (e.g., because I have evening plans) as long as I communicate and plan ahead

Never heard of anyone having more than 0

6 is ambitious (0 mostly, occasionally 1 on your scoring), as others of said your end of day meeting is normally 530-6 or if lucky 5-530. I’d say 7 is more possible (1 usually, maybe 2)

Friday typically, Monday through Thursday, seriously not sure I’ve ever been able to log off at 6

0

2-3

Used to be 1 (Friday). Increasingly 0 with tenure

Zero. On almost any project. In 7 years. In a “lifestyle” office by global standards.

0 for Mon-Thu
50-50 for Fri
90-10 for weekends (in favour of protected weekends, though this takes careful case / MDP selection)

How is this real. To each their own but damn that sounds miserable. I’ll take making a little less and have a life.

Having a life is too distant dream - more like not running into major health issues, keeping the same family partner ah man even leaving a house once a day or having a proper meal are still dreams

Maybe 1

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
