Productive hours you work per day? 2 years in into Consulting and I average 2 hours of productive work per day. Lots of waiting for information, onboarding, training, etc. Is this normal?

Dirty secret of consulting is if you find a good niche you basically never have to “work” north of 40 hours a week, however you do need to be a master at delegating.

Crowe1 - It was a joke, like this post!

Hmm 2 hours Sound like there are some issues. Are the tasks boring ? Do you feel empowered enough ? Do you need help to focus on the right staff ? Do you need someone to help you with a clear instructions what to do ?

12 hours of productive work is I think a good and reachable goal. Sometimes it’s 11 some days it’s 16-18, but of course you can’t sustain 18 over longer time.

Considering leaving to take a partner position at a small firm. Is it worth it? Would only be 2 partners with a staff of 10. Comp would be 250k on the low end and probably top out around 350k. Would take 3-4 years to get to this level of comp as would be buying 10% per year up to 40% of the firm. Am I stupid for not taking this? Currently manager making 125k. Comp first year as junior partner would be 120k with 10% ownership.
