When people say they work 80 hours, is it true billable 80 or is it inclusive of travel and some admin time. MBB folks?

Working 80 hours = billable 45

If I work during the travel, then include. If I am napping, exclude. Admin work i would consider part of my overall hours of work during the week, but I wouldn’t bill it to a client code. Pretty simple really!

Okay so another question - how many weeks out of the year do you work 80 hour weeks? Actual client work

like

Probably 3-5 weeks of the year. 70+ hour weeks are really frowned upon, so generally, unless you have an awful project, you won’t hit 80. More common to have these types of hours on a DD, but there are plenty of general practice cases that hit these hours too.

MBB generally don’t bill by the hour. BCG nailed it. Agree, seems straight forward. Working 80 means you are doing work for your job for 80 hours.
