How has everyone’s work from home hours been since COVID began? I work in Corporate Finance for F500 so by no means was I working banking hours before but now I feel like I’m putting in 70-80 hours a week and am almost never completely unplugged. Just curious if others are seeing this too?

Also at a F500 in corporate FP&A. My team typically left the office around 5 - 5:30PM consistently with little to no work at home. I'd say people now log off around 5-6PM. So no real difference imo. I've also noticed that people are less productive which may explain the additional half hour of work.
However, we had month end close and leaderership reporting last week and we pulled the typical 55-60 hours versus 45ish pre-COVID.
I work in corporate finance at a smaller company and work with a team that has always been hands off (i.e. face time does not matter as long as you get your work done...boss leaves before 5 PM on some days and after 7 PM on others). I feel like I am working longer hours, but only because we have so much analysis around COVID-19 and related liquidity issues, new revenue projections, etc. Absent COVID-19, WFH would probably mean the same hours.
Been working ~15-17 hr days for the past month. Company is being hit hard by COVID and have been doing the liquidity modeling prior to earnings. No semblance of work life balance, and hope that this ends sooner rather than later.
What industry if you don't mind me asking?
Fintech
This seems to be the boat that I’m in. Really sucks
I am actually at the other end of the spectrum. I work in Corp Dev and have been doing maybe 20 -30 hours (Knocks on wood).
My team is pretty hands off with face time plummeting given the current conditions. To be fair, the impact from COVID has been a slow down in the deal flow and my hours will probably jump as the things gradually pick up in the next few weeks/months.
What industry are you in if you don’t mind me asking?
Industrials
interesting. dealflow in my industry has been pretty good. we put a deal on hold at the beginning because of uncertainty.
don't think valuation multiples have been really depressed, but the crisis seems to have made some people more interesting in chatting or selling, though i don't think many formal processes have been launched.
35/wk
Would kill for that right now
TMT corporate strategy and my hours have jumped to 65-70 hrs/week during WFH compared to 50-55 hrs/week in the office pre-COVID. It sucks but helps keep my mind off of things, I guess
Why have they jumped?
2 reasons mainly:
1) executives see this as an opportunity to make a big play so we are looking at a ton of different options which means more work than normal 2) the line between work life and home life has blurred so people have no restraint in reaching out at all hours of the day
LDCM. BB. hours went from 70ish to over 90.
Dipped at first now back to normal or slightly above normal.
