On average how many hours/week did you work in Q4?

Dec 27, 2017 8 Comments

At Pinterest, we see a fairly normal distribution of hours worked, with a mean of 47. Curious how this benchmarks to the broader tech community.

    Are people including all time spent in office? Just productive time? Meetings? Working from home? Constantly checking/replying to work email on phone?

    I've always wondered if H1Bs, on average, work more hours than GC holders or citizens.

    Anybody seen or experienced this?

      I’ve seen a few H1B guys come into the office around 10-11 and leave around 3-4

    I am looking around myself now: everyone is chatting, talking about “ways to CYA”, laughing, browsing Amazon.com. There is one Asian guy in the corner who seems to be working in a focused manner. Are these all working hours? My point is that there are too many variables and each person will count differently.

    When I worked in the mid west, I worked for a very productive 45-50 hours per week. No distractions, rare small talk. Having coffee and restroom breaks make 3 hours per week (?), so productive 42-47 hours per week not including lunch. After moving to Bay Area, I am passively working all the time except sleep. But that doesn’t mean I work 85 hours/week. I work at mid west productivity for 30 hours per week maybe?
