You don’t want to have it send too late. Then you get feedback that either your technical skills aren’t up to snuff that it’s taking you that long to complete your work, or you don’t know how to prioritize. Personally, I’ll send up until midnight, but then nothing against until 7:30 am.

I would put something like “not urgent” so I don’t create unnecessary stress for that person and indicate that you just want to send this before you forget tomorrow.

Don’t do delayed unless you’re going to be up that time.

smart

I’ll give a direct answer: in consulting, before 12:30.

In industry, before 11.

No rhyme or reason- these are just the last times where I think “oh they were putting in some extra time” or “they fired the laptop up after dinner” vs. “something must be going wrong” or “they are inefficient”.

Caveat: A few days before a client meeting, no send time would strike me as weird.

No way! He needs credit for working late!
