35-60, depending on how busy we are. #1 rule is "don't get burned out". #2 rule is "get everything done". #3 rule is "try to be available for clients".

We get paid hourly, and get 1.5x for overtime. I'll have almost 20 hours of overtime racked up by the end of the week this week, but my typical is 40 hours plus or minus 2-3 hours.

 
Looking like a solid 60 for the next 18 months or so. Straight time OT only, with quite a bit of overseas travel its looking like.

 
76 hours this past week. Getting tired of this shit.

 
The shitty part was that it was supposed to be a four day weekend, that turned into half of Monday off and that's it. Everyone here is in deep shit with their families/SO's based on the hours we're putting in, and the fact that we're working even when we're not at work.

 
40-55 hrs/wk, hourly, consulting engineering firm. Have to constantly tell my wife it's an "opportunity". I wouldn't even dream of asking for overtime pay from management.

 
40 hours is the norm. However, we get paid straight time for anything over 40.

 
Dropped down a bit. Holding steady at around 55 hrs/week. Usually 6:30 - 6:30 or 7, and then duck out at normal time on Fridays unless my damn contractors grab me on the way out.

 
Work anywhere between 45 and 60 hours a week...sometimes approaching 70 but rarely. We get paid hourly which is nice, get paid for every hour we work.

 
Back into the 60-70 hrs/wk routine until August at least.
