How’s tech??
MM An1. Typically week ~70 if not in deal crunch, ~85 in deal crunch and worst weeks have been 90-100.

1. MM
2. ANL1
3. 90 before this past market downturn
This is hype. Glad to see some lower hours.
Would like to hear from energy analysts. They are probably getting smoked right now.
Work at one of the top banks in Houston (As-3) and 80 hours weeks are normal with 100 hour weeks not all that uncommon. Analysts probably slightly more but not much more.
Just curious - are energy analysts getting due to deal activity?
At my bank yea we have a lot of deal flow right now
Is this an EB or just boutique?
1) BB
2) AN1
3) 50 - 60 hrs a week
Which group?
ABS Structuring
Which bank and city?
Boutique
SA
50-55
1) MM
2) Analyst 2
3) Until about a month ago, 70-80 hours a week. Recently, probably 50 hours a week. Not hating the market slowdown but worried my next bonus will be wack.

Jdksjshshs
MM
AS1
60
That’s amazing. Which mm
Think European bank in NYC (Socgen, BNPP, Credit A)
Anyone in APAC?
UK MM AN3 60/65 atm because the summer breaks. Expecting 75-90 from sept till dec
1. NYC BB
2. Summer analyst
3. 50 hours/week
Where
NYC BB lol
These are surprisingly low. How are these YoY
I'm guessing these have come down a lot? If not, seems pretty good for the premium to PE comp you guys get... this all sounds too good to be true
IB cuts pretty hard in downturns. PE still has few streams.
Most of the replies have been from summer analysts
Yeah the analyst post seem to be about 20% higher in hours
Any houston analyst datapoints? Heard some of the top shops getting crushed, esp JefCo
NYC EB
An 1
~80-85 hrs a week
EB, An1. January – March, probably >100. March – May, probably 65. May – now, probably 90
NYC BB Tech coverage
ASO 1
20-60 hours week, down from 70-100 in 2021
Group/ bank falling apart has its perks 🙃
is this CS?
Definitely CS or DB...
NYC BB
A1
~80 hour weeks for the past few months (was pulling ~60 in the fall), with a few weeks pushing ~100
If my bonus isn’t BUSSIN I am seriously considering just saying “fuck it” and leaving, as my mental/physical health has gone to complete shit recently.
Sorry to hear that, that's brutal. What's driving the higher hours recently for you?
I think you and a lot of people are in the same boat
EB in NYC, Analyst 2. Probably 60-70 per week, but expecting this to pick up
MM 50 - 60 Summer Analyst. Not tier 1 city.
