Guten Morgen und danke für die Frage!
Das kann man pauschal tatsächlich schwierig beantworten. Je nach Projekt können die Arbeitszeiten im Consulting und damit natürlich auch die verfügbare Freizeit sehr stark schwanken. Die Wochenenden sind bei uns aber eigentlich immer frei, sodass man sich dort immer mit Familie, Freunden oder Hobbies verplanen kann.
Grundsätzlich gilt es daher, die Zeit, die man hat, gut zu nutzen. Die Wochenenden sind für mich besonders wichtig, um einen guten Ausgleich zur Woche zu schaffen. Und natürlich gibt es auch Projekte, die einem erlauben, sich abends noch ein paar Stunden freizuschaufeln, um Sport zu machen, spazieren zu gehen, zu kochen etc. Solche Aktivitäten sind für mich persönlich die beste Methode, um den Job auszugleichen und den Kopf wieder frei zu kriegen.
