The answer you are looking for is 'it depends'.

It depends on whether it is busy season or not.
It depends on what is your role in each project.
It depends on whether you are needed during those hours whether you can contribute or not the right person to contribute.
It depends on how strict your reporting manager is with regards to who should work OT and who can go home or how the project budget and delivery timeline is being planned.

It depends.
I realised one month after joining a services firm that its not about the hours. We don’t work a fixed number of hours.

It’s about getting your work done and meeting deadlines. And your output is sometimes dependent on inputs from others so if you can’t get what you need fast, you have a shorter timeframe to turnaround.

You can take MC, leave, whatever, but have to come back and work late to finish your own share of the project.
