I work a lot DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW BUSY I AM. I AM IMPORTANT. SOMEONE VALIDATE ME.
On the flip side, when I tell my non consulting friends about beach days, their heads explode. "WHAT? You get paid to do nothing???"
It isnt the days, it is the total number of overtime hours.
Typical of consultants to humble brag about hours worked 🙄
^more like feel publicly depressed. Believe me when I say I'd avoid 70-80 hour weeks if I could
You should have said... only weekends. The rest of days I just work 7Am to 9 PM. No overtime. 👿
I've been in industry ...most days are beach days after 3 hours or real work
Probably 4
The number of hours you put into your time sheet isn't necessarily the number of hours you work or -- more importantly -- the number of hours you're productive. I "work" about 50 but with travel, I'm closer to 70...productive maybe 20-30...
I'm usually 5-20 beyond the standard 40
On the other hand, one too many beach days and you'll find yourself out of a job...
Be honest though, excluding travel, probably 3?
Depends on practice. Also weekend is not unusual
^This. @P3
Is everyone in this thread spelling "bench" wrong or am I missing something??
