All nighter
For my folks in coverage, after finishing around 2 or 3am, what time do the analysts and associates get into the office the next day?

Analysts ~9:00/9:30, Associates: ~10
Depends - a lot of the time you'll wake up to comments on those 3am send outs, so often 9-9:30am. If the meeting was that morning and you know the books got delivered and you're good to go, maybe you have a slower morning and arrive +/- 10am. Unfortunately there's always more work to be done so it's not like people roll in at noon
At least at my last firm (assuming it was genuinely necessary and you’re not getting done at 5am because you went to a dinner or smthng)
2-3am means regular “rough” day, you show up on time (9am)
4-8am means you get an extra ~30 min per hour worked past 3am (so 4 means 9:30, 8 means 11:30)
after 9 am means you can take a WFH
day unless you have a big meeting and be MIA until after lunch
I think it really depends on the bank
Jesus christ you people are slow. Have you ever noticed how hedge fund analysts finish their work by 7PM most nights?
Most hedge fund analysts don’t get work assigned to them at 11pm… They have a lot more control over their schedule and have internal deadlines instead of client facing ones.
Lol okay Associate 1
Just a troll baiting people. Assuming this person truly works at a HF, they cannot possibly have this stupid of an argument.
Anything between 3-6am meant I would be in office at 11am the next day. Otherwise I tried to be in by 10am (usual days ended between 1-3am for us). If I knew I would have comments in the morning then it would probably be a WfH first half since I would be working on said comments and then come in around 12-1pm.
2-3am is not an all-nighter lol.
Generally if I work past 3 I’m not coming in until 10:30am earliest.
I'm surprised by the people saying they're in the office by 9AM. Not sure if things have changed since COVID, but NY banking always started later. I typically showed up at 10-10:30AM.
To answer the question, I always tried to show up at my usual time, unless I was getting 5hrs of sleep. So if I got home at 5, I'd sleep till 10 then head to work by 10:45
Yea 2 to 3am is not an all nighter - more like late night but still can squeeze in 5/6 hours a sleep and come into office office around 9 to 10:30am.
I would say all nighters are any time after 4/5am. Tbh doesnt matter how many hours you sleep, anything below 3 to 4 hours of sleep takes a similar toll to an actual all nighter imo.
3 am I’m in by 9:45am. If it is a 10am bake-off the next day I’ll be in at 8:30 for last minute stuff. If you know you’re done, 10:30 latest.
In by 9 the next day. Granted I live a mile from the office, so its an easy walk
