How many hours a week do you work?

[Anonymous]

Is it same for summer? More? Less?

At the moment I'm on a short unpaid medical leave break from work. Because of what happen to me this past Sunday. I went to step into the tub and throughout my lower back.

But I normally work 40 hrs. a week.

Generally 70, occasionally as much as 100 in the busy seasons

35hrs 5 days pw. on flexitime.

However due to the very nature of my work, this can vary greatly over any given time.

Thank you so very much indeed for the MHO.

43 one week and 37.5 the next. 80.5 hours each fortnight.

I’m Advisor Smith.

When I worked in strategy/consulting after my MBA, I averaged 55–65 hours a week, sometimes 70+ during big projects. That didn’t change much in summer—client work drives the schedule, not seasons.

In my current mix of coaching, teaching, and writing, I work around 40–45 focused hours weekly, slightly less in summer (30–35) by planning ahead and batching work.

For your own path, decide:
- Minimum income you need
- How much recovery time you require
- Whether your field is seasonal (e. g., education vs. finance).
