How common is it really to work past 5:30 or 6:00 PM on a daily basis? I mean unless you are working in Investment Banking or Management Consulting at one of the big firms, for the typical software developer (outside of the Silicon Valley /startup crowd) is this even an issue?
- rdouble 14y agoIn every software company there is a contingent of people who work late simply because there are too many distractions occurring during the day.
- avenger123 14y agoIf I was consistently working late due to this reason, my employer would have a problem as working late is not in the company culture. I can understand someone doing this out of personal preference, but is working late considered the norm and is expected by the employer?
- rayiner 14y agoIt obviously depends on your employer, but it's very common for managers to write off people who go home on time as not the right kind of material for promotions, etc.
- rdouble 14y agoCompany norms and cultures aside, the software industry was built on working late. Whether or not the CEO goes home at 5pm, the software part of a software business needs to get built, and it's usually not done 9-5.
