How many hour a week do you'll work?
I am gonna be going for a job interview.
SO wanted to know how many hours one has to typically
put in. Do you guys get any overtime extra?
This knowledge helps me to negotiate.
I'm not a 3d newbie, but have been a freelancer.
Thx.

Thats 8 hours a day for a week.
Does it mean that for every extra hour that one puts after that he should get paid extra by hourly rate ?
I appreciate the info .
Thx.

Assuming you live in the US.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

Yes, I am in US.
I would be looking at a job but in contract position for some time.
I wouldnt even mind getting paid the same rate not 1.5 for overtime.
One of the companies that earlier interviewed me said it would be 12 hours a day and maybe 7 days a week, for a fixed monthly salary; which is not really appealing. I understand production work cannot be a 9 to 5 job , however, I wouldnt like to be treated that way.
I think a fixed salary for maybe 50 hours instead of 40 hours a week is okay , right?
Am I expecting too much?
Thanks.

A full "work week," defined federally (by the government; U.S.), is 8 hours per day, 5 days a week (40 hours total, so you got your math right, above
):https://www.workrights.ca/content.php?doc=36
However, yes, some studios will ask for quite a bit of time to be put into work (12+ hour days).
Despite focusing on 3d modeling (in college), I have taken some VFX rotoscoping and compositing courses, and I've heard some stories (from instructors who have worked on major productions) about being asked to dedicate 16+ hours per day, 7 days per week, (for months at a time, even).
(Be ready to kiss socializing goodbye
)That's only for VFX work, in the line of movie-making; I don't think game-level industries can get that ugly...
Anyway, back to your question:
If you look at the bottom of the page the above link opens up to, you'll notice a couple questions regarding overtime.

working thruout the week, only for salary alone, sounds quite un inviting.
Man, looks like one has to find the right place to work.
If more work hours then , at least the projects gottta be real high profile, which have a great presence on the cv.
Thanks.
