In Reply To: With the understanding that hours will vary considerably depending upon the project one is working on, is there a way to get an idea of the hours that consulting requires in the first few years? I'm perfectly prepared to work 9am-9pm on average. I'm just wondering if those hours are reasonable expectations (again, taking unusual circumstances into account) or are you veteran consultants chuckling to yourselves as you read those numbers? Also, are 6 day work weeks to be expected, or does the industry actually respect the concept of the weekend? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks
Message: If you expect to work 12 hour days for just 6 days a week, I'd suggest you look for a cushy number in the government sector.
