Pros: As an IT Consultant, I found some projects offered decent flexibility. The hybrid work model helps, especially with avoiding the daily commute in Singapore. You can usually manage your 40-hour work week if you're good at setting boundaries.
Cons: However, client projects can quickly become demanding. There's pressure to hit deadlines, and that often means working late. It's tough when you're on a critical IT services deployment and your personal time disappears.
Advice to Management: Try to better manage project loads for IT consulting teams. When client projects get heavy, encourage managers to protect employee's evenings and weekends more effectively. A true 40-hour work week should be the standard, not an exception.
