What’s an appropriate time to “call it a night”. There will always be more work but also starting to get burnt out.

This. Very occasional late nights/ weekends. Usually close to go live.

Are the posters above serious? I would say 11 pm is the normal time to sign off at BCG. This is standard M- Th. Friday usually you’re done around 3 pm or 4 pm.

Anytime before that is considered work time.

I mean, let me know if any of y'all decide to switch to federal consulting. My income potential is much lower but I'm pretty happy making mid-100k while rarely working more than 40 hours per week. Like a couple weeks ago I had to do 43 hours and I was annoyed.

I'll only work more than 10 hours if something critical is due.
The time you "call it a night" (or start in the morning) might be different than others - the team should be open about that, and maybe set some core hours where everyone is expected to be "available". Helps with the guilt.

Generally doing a 7:45am - 7pm day. Work out in the morning before work and take a few 15-30 minute breaks throughout the day.

I also work out from 630-730 and start the day at 8-815

This. Just entering my 90min break lol.

The point at which you start working more than the hours you plan to charge. For example, 8 to 5 is 9 hours. If you plan to charge 9 hours, log off for the day NLT 5:01 pm. Easy peasy

Legitimate question, what the hell are you doing to fill a 15 hour day? The only time I’ve worked that long consistently was when I was deployed.

Woof. Seems pretty frustrating. I’m about 10 years in and do as little with slides as I can.

First block 5-7am, break for kids and breakfast, 9-4 while trading off
childcare with partner, break for gym shower dinner get kids to bed, last work block 8-11pm.

So technically I sign off at 11 but productivity is insanely low all day. Constantly worried I’m going to be fired. But also kind of hoping I’ll get fired. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago. They’ve just offered me a new position: Creative Services Manager (in house for 4 related brands). I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?
