It really depends on the project / phase of the project. I’d say average across the year is 9:00-19:00 (if you’re efficient), with four days worked in the weekends across the year, and a few long nights.
The efficiency point is critical, we tend to work at much faster pace than other consultancies. During the adjustment period you’d probably work more than the hours I mentioned above.
P.s. the fact of working at faster pace is based on what new joiners from other consultancies (typically big 4, other tier 2) have told me
Thanks AP1. I’ve DM’d you.
AP1 is spot on at the VP/SVP level. It’s a steep learning curve, but once you’re in a rhythm it’s a 50-60 hour week most weeks, with exceptions of DDs and QSs. You really do learn to work efficiently.
My first year at the firm I averaged 52 while staffed on implementations. This year has been 65+ without fail but it’s an outlier (exception that proves the rule?). Please feel free to ask questions.
Just for clarity: overloading is a endemic character flaw across a lot of AP folks, not a top down directive
