"lower BB in IBD"
I’m incoming FT — went through FT recruiting and given how unstructured the process is, offered to help the guy on the last post.
When on a couple of live deals: 12pm - 6pm Saturday, 10:30am - 8pm Sunday Otherwise: No work Saturday, 3-5 hours on Sunday Context: First year analyst at an EB in NYC
Evercore? Lol
Probably greenhill
def not tobin co
Have you heard anything about their WLB or junior banker initiatives?
1st year at mid tier bank
when its at its worst: Saturday 6 hours, Sunday 12ish hours usually: 2-4 hours sunday
I have protected Saturdays, and they're usually pretty good about respecting that. Generally we're expected to respond to Saturday emails with something like "ok, will handle tomorrow morning" or whatever, but the rule of thumb is that we basically don't have to do anything other than respond to emails. Sundays range from 1 or 2 hours from home to 8 or 9 hours at the office. Average probably ~3.

This thread summarized everything wrong with banking and finance writ large. Nothing you are working on requires slave like hours on the weekends. Just re-doing endless “models” and slide decks.
This thread seems reasonable
Ppl are saying working even 8 hours each day on the weekend is uncommon
I agree with you to a large degree, but I do think there are occasionally things I'm asked to do on the weekend that actually need to be done. Usually when we're in late stages / final diligence / closing of a deal, when there's some sort of deadline on an LOI or term sheet.
I'd say that less than ~25% of the weekend work I do actually needs to be done on the weekend
When I was in IBD
BB London - 4/5 hours avg over the course of entire weekend.
At its worst 40 hours over the weekend & at its best no work.. there was no discrimination between Saturday or Sunday
Would you mind PMing that BB?
When i was in banking I only worked two Saturdays over my two years (one was Santacon, that sucked)
Worked every Sunday during my first year, most days were 10 AM - 9 PM. My second year, i probably would do 2 Sunday's a month in the office from noon to 6 PM or so.
Was at a BB that had a protected Saturday's policy. NYC.
Based on the hours feel like this is Citi lol
