Hours per week?

#1

50-60 here, though it feels like it is 100-120 due to extreme dislike of the job. How much time per week do you spend working?

#2

37.5 hours

#3

Depends on the client and time frame mostly. Sometimes I can pull 40 flat, sometimes I bill 80 hours.

#4

I do about 50 hours/week, but I don’t get lunch break.

Hahaha, I feel your pain! For what it’s worth, hang in there, you’ll get more used to it, not sure if that’s encouraging or discouraging though.

I actually ran an ultra (50-miler) recently and I think the psychological pain of this job is worse.

#7

nice sub, didn’t know you were into the ultra thing too! Which race?

#8

Probably about 5 hours a week of actual work. 35 hours of useless meetings and collecting receivables.

#9

Just gone up from 35 to 40. World of pain.

#10

60-75 Gotta love West coast meetings after working an East coast day.

#11

What sublimity said, but kinda in the opposite direction. Probably 50-60 hrs/week on average, but it doesn’t feel like much more than 40 because I enjoy the work.

#12

60, can range from 55-85 though

#13

50-60 but feels like 24/7 my biggest achievement at this job? convincing my boss to not get me a company crackberry

#14

35 + 2 months vacation… oh wait…

#16

~55 on average, more during earnings season, less during slow periods

@comp_sci, how do you get 2 months vacation? Are you a teacher or do you work in Europe?

#19

50-55 for face time. but probably 5 of actual work. what are your views on automation? since i’ve started i have automated a lot of my daily crap. i know generally it’s good (more productive, focus on harder stuff, etc) but in current environment is worth making yourself more disposable?
