In Reply To: ..or is it normal for IT consulatants to not have free time to indulge in hobbies?
Message: you make the choice... If you want to indulge into your hobbies, do it. Just dont work for a large consulting firm. Most consulting firms though do not appreciate this.. I choose to spend more time with my Family. the companies motto was "Family first" ... 6 months Later I was Laid off. Although I was one of the High Performers. Problem with these companies is that you can not even appreciate the extra vacation days... (when do you take up these?) you must take the initiative. they certainly wont. now, I work in a stress-free environment, doing not more than 40 hours/week
