My team is crushing it, but I'm also crushing hard under this workload. I basically live in my inbox, even on weekends. How do you actually set boundaries and say "no" sometimes?

Work what you're paid to work, if they're not compensating you for the extra work why work it?
If you can't finsih your work in the hours given its either under-scoped or more difficult than expected.

You’re young and trying to make a good impression so I totally understand your effort. However, nowadays when you join places as part of a “class” of associate consultants, your career progression is kind of tied to your peers. The extra effort you’re putting in is only marginally putting you ahead of your peers, but you’ll all probably get promoted at the same time.

When you add in the fact you’ll probably leave in a couple years, this kind of grid in this stage of your career is not worth it. Take it from someone who did it.

Save the grind till you’re a Senior Associate if you really want to impress and climb. Honestly they just want to make sure you can spell your name your first year.

I’m curious to know if anyone has experience working part-time in architecture? I have been working for large international firms in NYC for the past 10 years. So I work all day every day. My evenings and often the weekends are all absorbed by work duties. Working part-time would allow me to find a better balance, and carve out space for side gigs and eventually start my own firm. Any recommendations?
