I could just have been lucky though.

This matches my experience exactly. Occasional overtime has sometimes been required either to meet a project deadline or to perform work that can only be done after hours so as not to disrupt the rest of the organization (I work in IT), but a typical week for me has always been ~40 hours. When I do have to work overtime, I can either come in late or leave early the next day to make up the hours.
