You’re right, I should have given a range and not spoken in absolutes. Probably around 50 - 50hrs per week.*

50 billable is about 65 worked at least at the Manager and above level. People say bill what you work until directors are breathing down your neck

Or if you’re an associate it’s about 35 hours worked lmao

50 hours a week does not sound crazy on paper but is actually very tough in reality esp if u do it days in days out plus commute. Let says no weekend and no late friday so you basically have to do 11 hours from Mon to Thurs and 8 hours on Friday, meaning 9 to 6, commute home, eat shower and help out family if u have wife and kid, then u lock back it from 8 or 9 till 11 pm or midnight, everyday!!!

Yeah, if you have a family it adds up and the evening grind of juggling trying to be an involved parent, dealing with toddler BS and the evening email onslaught is tough. But for perspective, I’m very grateful we had kids post Covid where working late in the office is effectively a thing of the past.

50 hours billable is really tough.

Don't think I've ever charged 50 billable hours unless it involved some reclass of prior hours. In all honesty, that is tough if you're counting your working hours correctly. Expected utilization since M never went above 80% meaning any given week, I can charge 32 and be meeting expectation.

Not too bad considering that’s 10 hours per day which can be normal in our field

Might be just referring to charge hours

Yeah, 50 hours is a long week because there is always a couple of days where you have to pull in 12 hours of chargeable work and a certain day within a week and weekends aren’t usually common so 50 hours in a five day is quite a lot more than people think

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
