6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for the days I go for a run at lunchtime. 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the days I go to the gym after work. Overtime is extremely rare. I haven't put in over 50 hours in a week in years. If you notice that my schedule is dictated by my needs, rather than my employer's wishes, you're catching on.

Software development is a thinking activity; you don't need to be any particular place to do it. In fact, sitting at a desk in front of a blank screen often inhibits the process. I've always been able to set my own hours (as long as I was there at least eight hours a day). I prefer to work early; it helps beat the traffic and eases bathroom congestion at home. And on one job I worked on the west coast I had to support people on the east coast so it made sense for my day to match theirs. Currently, I'm working from home, so I really have no schedule.

Roughly 9-5. Sometimes come in later and leave earlier, sometimes leave late. (Rarely come in earlier due to traffic patterns, especially in winter.) I'm on salary, which means I'm paid to do a job, not punch a clock. (Generally, if you fix hours, you turn an employee into a wage employee and must start paying overtime. Unfortunately, management often abuses that [until they get sued.])

As a consultant, I decide what my work hours will be, usually depending on the time I get up in the morning. Since I don't use an alarm clock, it varies from day to day. At the end of the month, I bill my client an insane amount of money, depending on how much hours I have worked in the month.

7:30am to 9:30pm 4 days a week. :) normal working hours are 7:15am to 4:45pm with every other friday off. :)

Yes, but only in a perfect world... Then it appears that customer that suddenly asks for something new at the middle of the project, and you have those other projects approaching... Apart of that, in normal conditions you are right.

Is it a problem to work one less hour per day?

No, not all :) What I was saying is that if they adopt 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM timings, we have to come at 7:30 and stay back till 6 or 7

Then you leave at 4:30, or shortly thereafter. They will only require you to work an 11-12 hour day if you allow them to.

Well the thing is here a developer is supposed to gather requirements, design, code, test, and implement the web application/site. So entire responsibility is on him, therefore company expects us to sit back or work on weekends, all they care is job getting done.
