What time are people leaving the office these days

With deal flow down so much I was wondering what time people have been leaving the office recently. When I first started banking I was lucky to leave before midnight now I rarely stay past 8.

It really varies at my bank.

It really varies at my bank. People that are on pitches or deals are working typically hours (til midnight or so).

But the people who are just on general marketing stuff (BS to fill time because there aren't enough deals to go around) are bouncing around 6pm.

My group really doesn't care about face time though - if you don't have anything to do, go home.

I do have a buddy that has to stay til 10pm just surfing the net, even if he has nothing to do...

hmm, it depends but i'd say

hmm, it depends but i'd say on average between 9-10 over the last few weeks although there have been a few long days. i don't really have that much face time, although some people of the other analyst were upset when another analyst left at 7 and didn't ask if we needed help.

It comes and goes. Rarely

It comes and goes. Rarely leave before midnight these days, but things should be getting better as I had a number of substantial deadlines converge in the same week. Most of my co-workers are in the same boat, with a few who are less staffed up leaving between 6 and 10. Our schedules all run completely independently depending on which phases our deals are on.
