<p>This is one of the reasons why I did not mind “opening my life book” and getting a security clearance and doing INTEL work. By federal guidelines, a consultant MUST report every hour spent on a federal contract. Since we supposedly cost so much, most contracts limit consultants to work only 40 hours a week.</p>
<p>I like it.</p>
<p>PS: When I was working in the private sector (non-INTEL), I had do a few 50+ hour workweeks. I will say this, a GOOD question to ask some project manager or program manager BEFORE you decide to work on a certain project/contract is “Is this contract time and materials?..or fixed-priced?”. I will admit now, but there were projects I snubbed when I found out it was NOT “time and materials” billed.</p>
