heh, 38 (35+3h overtime payed 25% more) , ah lazy french ! I did a crunch from 9am to midnight, included week-ends during 3 weeks though, and it's not going to happen again !
From what I gather, one of the benefits of going to school is that it helps you prepare for industry hours. In a week, I typically spend about 35 hours on school, 25 hours at work, and 25 hours on freelance. So it sounds to me like only having one 45 hour a week job to worry about would be nice.
Not reading all the answers: At the moment I work 9:25 to 18:35, 17:35 if i go shorter on the lunch break. That said, during crunch it can easily become from an hour more to all nighter and/or weekends as well, but that happens not so often in our department. I have to travel around at least 70 minutes in each direction…
