Ten to twenty, I'd estimate. I teach in higher education.

I rarely do, only when we have events on campus we are hosting. Then 2-4 hours over. Others in my office will work 10 hours over consistently.
I work in Career Services in Higher Education.

Adding to my curiosity, would you be willing to share your salary?
I'm in the nonprofit industry and lately I've been asked to accept 10+ hours over and my salary is $40,000.

I know everybody's probably getting sick of me bringing up wage violations, but this is a really important update:
FIVE states increased the minimum salary requirement for exempt employees as of 01/01/2022. The federal minimum is still $684 per week, but if you live in CA, CO, NY, ME, or WA then you must know that those minimum salaries have been raised significantly.
Here's an article that lays out the updated information pretty succinctly: https://sbshrs.adpinfo.com/blog/exempt-employees-minimum-salary-requirements-for-2022
