How many hours do you work per day at the Middle East office? I know it depends on the project but I just want to have an idea and compare it with where I am from
Actually disagree because that hasn’t been my experience

Hello!
Depends not only on the project, but also on the point of the project (e.g., the middle of it usually is a bit better, and the week of an steerco is always going to be hell).
On average, I would say a good day is 8am-8pm , and as it gets bad it ranges from midnight to 2-3 in the night.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,

Like you said, it is highly dependent on the project as well as the stage of the project. However on average for a normal project (Ive just done one so far) it's about 10-12 hours per day with a peak of 14-15 hour days right before big meetings (3-4 days out of the 10 weeks) and I worked only one Saturday for a couple of hours
Hi there,
While regions do vary as an average, the biggest difference maker is your specific project and leadership. Some clients are particularly demanding/lax and some leadership is particularly demanding/lax.
As a general rule in consulting, expect the "worst"! That is, be prepared to work 80-hour weeks and some weekends. However, be "grateful" when you get an easier case that falls to 50-55 hours per week.
Highly dependent on the project, team, client and stage of project.
Certainly more than the hours I did on projects in my home office or in European countries. It wasn't uncommon to work from 8 - 3/4am at crunch time. Busy but not crunch maybe 8-12/1am. Semi-busy days, 8-9/10.

too many! lol
Good luck finding a case where you sign off at 8PM ...
