Some days I consider taking a 100% paycut to work 0 hours a week

-0-

40 a week is standard (in the US and certainly in Western Europe)

Never negotiate with yourself.

You get a salary to do a job. Unless the contract specifies hours I don't think you have a leg to stand on in many countries. Same reason the contracts don't specify overtime pay rates. Its all bundled in.

I moved from big four to boutique for a 40 hr work week and pay raise. Unicorns exist.

Something folks underestimate a lot is time. In consulting or front office finance you WASTE so much time for someone else without the due financial return. I see the value early on in your career, but long term I find that folks are wasting their potential unless they really love it and don’t have better alternatives. When I switched into high tech, it unlocked so much time that I was able to put my money to use in stocks, real estate, etc, so long term the impact on my net worth / lifestyle is ten fold compared to what consulting or finance could give me monetary wise. I should be able to leave corporate jobs by 35, sustain on my other passive streams and venture out into the real adventure (work / project) that interests me no matter the outcome. That is freedom in my mind. All these jobs are jobs at the end of the day, and have capped income stream. It’s a risk averse white collar delusion to think that these jobs will give you true freedom / happiness long term, but of course different folks have different goals / perception of life so to each their own.
