Germany, 7am-4pm, with half an hour of unpaid lunch time.
Usually by the time I arrive at work I already did my workout (gym or running).
Since I'm living close to my work place I also drive my bike from/to work which takes about 20 min.

#22I typically work 8am-4pm, but most people in my office work 9:30am - 4pm. Our parking lot is empty at 9am and 5pm
This is me as well 8am-4pm... but most people in my office work 9-5 or 10-6pm, which often means answering emails when I get home. This schedule has held true for my previous two jobs as well. Exceptions are when servers and sites go down, but my current company gives me comp time when I get pulled away from my family on a weekend or a vacation so it all works out.

#23I'm a math/software guy at NASA. I work 80 hours every two weeks, with flexible scheduling. A lot of folks will work over 8 hours a day to get one or two extra days off every pay period. Others (like me) tend to opt for a more traditional work schedule. I do a fair amount of telework though, usually at least 1-2 days a week.
Re: Ask HN: Typical work hours
#24Mostly roughly 9 to 5, although lately I have been heading into the office at 7 - 8 am & leaving at 5, or sometimes later if I'm engrossed in a particular task. Lunch is whatever time I choose to have it, typically I'll do a half hour, sometimes a little longer.
I also have flexibility to leave when I want too - there have been days where I left at 3 pm to go running with friends.

Re: Ask HN: Typical work hours
#28At my current contract job, I get to work just before nine and leave around 6:30, and have a quick lunch. I'm charging for nine hours a day.
The extra hour is making me both miserable and palpably less effective, but it's what I undertook, it's what they want, and the money's good.
I'm going to try and avoid jobs that expect more than 40 hours on an ongoing basis after this.

#29My last job I worked 10:30-5:30 and took an hour break for lunch/gym.
Just started a remote job, so now nobody cares about my hours, just my results. Too early to say what the typical day is.

#30UK here - typically 8:30ish to 4:45-5ish for me
Could easily go 9-5 but I am very much a "morning" person and my productivity usually nose-dives after about 2pm (so I choose to have a very short lunch or eat at my desk, but could easily take a full hour if I wanted)
