are hours worked noted for return offers?
now that interns are wfh and I hit prorate at 40 hours, will logging 50-55 per week be problematic? It’s literally making more a week than current analysts so a little hesitant

only 55 hours those are rookie numbers
Tough call. On one hand logging 55 hours could make you look like a slow worker depending upon your delieverables, on the other hand it could make you look like a hard worker and team player. I would say if you are a quick and productive worker and your team knows it then more hours is a benefit- if you are deadweight it could make it look like you are playing the system.
So, it depends?...
I’ve never heard of hours worked being discussed in the intern return offer discussions, and they certainly weren’t when I was in those meetings as an analyst. The spreadsheet / figures probably get sent to your staffer but that’s about it. As long as you’re not submitting 100 hour weeks when it’s clear that you don’t have that much work, you’re fine.
