How many hours do you work in a day and what's your profile?- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

I have adhd so I don't (read : can't) work until 2 days before sprint is about to get over then wrap the stuff up with anywhere between 8-10 hours pn both days.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Want to know how everyone else is doing their job.

I am smart but not hardworking and I just hate sitting in front of sys all day I don't know how others do it ah.

How many hours do you work typically

Yesterday I started work around 11.30 and spent about 2-3 hours in the morning & afternoon doing code reviews , tech discussions, meetings etc. and then spent most of the day chilling with my parents. (WFH)

I felt a bit guilty about working so less (and there was some work to do) so I put in a 3 hour focused time to write some code/implement some requirements. 

Total of about 5-6 hours of actual time spent actually working. This has been about the average for me for a year now; this is how a typical work day usually looks like. At home I usually spend maybe 6-8 hours in front of the laptop at my desk out of which 5-6 hours would be actual time spent working. (It’s a LOT less at office, that’s a different story altogether)

Is this too less or is this the norm for software engineers today? What does the number look like for you, how many hours do you spend in front of your laptop & how many hours do you actually work every day?

How many hours do you actually work?

Time spent in meetings is work 
 Time spent preparing for meetings is work 
 Time spent cooling down after meetings is work 
  
 Time spent thinking about work is also work

Thought's on this statement?

Yes, we should all work 70 hours a week so shareholders can make 70 millions a week and then at the first sign of trouble they can lay off 700 employees a week 😂

Sales

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Anyone else doing 80-100hrs a week here?

He's a founder and possibly gets salary and stock dividends in millions of dollars every month. He can most certainly work 80hrs a month.  
  
 Founders usually work a lot, hence the pay. There's nothing new about it.

I heard that the work culture at Deloitte is bad that people work for 15 hours a day? What's happening at Deloitte?

Work culture at Deloitte?

Delivery Lead

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

It's been a year I'm working with one company that has good name. But everymonth I have 40% of the time where I work more than 11+hrs (with food and all activities I work 16 hrs sometimes)

How do You guys balance this?

I tried balancing this but my manager and lead are telling that I'm not taking taking ownership these days. Earlier when I used to work more I delivered on time and took lot of ownership. But when I work less and do just my work or logout after 10 hrs it's affecting this.

Happened with anyone?

Data engineer

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

When working in a *Software Developer Position*, consider 8hrs to be the average hours you work at your company.
▶️how many hours do you actually get to slack off ?
#-------Context------
At my current company i usually am occupied for more than 8 hours and i cannot do something like "reading a Blog to enhance my skillset, watch interview prep videos, learn something new or explore another zone of development like a new stack or something". After my working hours i give time to my pet dog, family and a little bit to myself.
Is it the same for you or is my service based company sucking the blood out of me?

Question to bachelors working in a remote job from a metro like Bangalore, Delhi or Mumbai and not living with parents. 

How do you deal with not having people around you ?
Does it get lonely sometime ?
How do you manage your day and schedule around work in general ?

Context :-
I've got a job offer from an Indonesia based startup and they don't have an office in India. 
I've never worked a remote job, except COVID and I don't know if I should work from the metro or go back home?

Benefits of Metro :
You get to be around people who work similar jobs.

Benefits of home :
You save money and life is a little peaceful there.

Thread on CTC vs Work Life Balance

Business Development Manager

I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first.

1. Leave early if the work for that day is done
2. No pings and calls post work hours, there are always exceptions and thats okay, should not become a norm
3. Respecting when someone is in vacation and not disturbing them.
4. Not rejecting leaves 

I will add more in comments If more comes to my mind.

Work Life Balance

Rule of thumb  
 If you get work thoughts outside 9-6 or weekends, it's not WLB.

Software Test - QA

Computer Operator

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being not tiring at all and 10 being you being left with no energy at the end of the day. 

Please comment your industry, role, YoE and your rating (else the results could be confounded).
