Work/Life Balance in ER at smaller UK brokers (e.g. Panmure, Peel Hunt etc.)

Does anyone know what the hours tend to be like at the UK middle-market places, as opposed to BBs? Preferably for an Associate in ER.

Cheers!

Equity Research Full Resume Review

“Markus was incredibly helpful with the CV review, he started off looking at my CV and gave me a detailed list of questions, really trying to understand the candidate before making the CV. He made all the refinements himself and never took more than 24 hours in between correspondence. He also gave me a detailed list of all actions he had taken and why to help explain his reasoning before I could even pushback, which made the process convenient. Overall had an incredibly positive and pleasant time.”

Equity Research Full Resume Review

“Stephanie was an outstanding resume reviewer. She replied within a day, gave detailed feedback in every round, and stayed responsive even while travelling abroad. When I explained I was targeting biotech equity research rather than IB, she adapted her advice quickly and showed me how to translate my scientific work into investment language: commercial relevance, diligence skills and outcome-driven bullets, while keeping my technical credibility. She also gave honest, practical advice on public market exposure and certifications. My final resume scored 97 on the AI review. Highly recommend her!”
