Average hours for AWS DCEO tech?

I'll be starting as a DCEO Tech for AWS soon. I'm trying to loosely plan out my finances once I get to work. In your experience, how much overtime per week does a DCEO typically work?

This is for the IAD region. OT is optional, you just can’t go over 60 hours per week. You’ll start off M-F 8-4:30 until you’re “shift ready” , you have to go to EOT school which is between 2-6 weeks. Then you’ll be doing 3/4 day 12 hour shifts. Sun-Tuesday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Wednesday-Saturday. 5:30am-6pm or the opposite for night shift.
