14 is a good day

Frankly speaking - 40-50 max. I developed a very clear and narrow specialization which allows me to work less but being in demand at the same time for the topics I am expert in

This is the way. When I was a generalist, I worked 65 on average. As someone with a functional specialization - I work 50 max.

I am guessing a lot of the higher hours here are juniors without a niche.
