Are London-based bankers working from home?
Question as above. If so, is it across the board or is it in specific groups? Specific banks?
Thank you!

yes. most banks have implemented 1 week in the office 1 week work from home
From what I heard
MS GS Evr one week on one week off Lazard I heard got sent home Greenhill Rothschild still as normal HSBC still in (think research got sent home after confirmed case) KKR and Bain are WFH
Yes and all the big hedge funds are out of office where possible - Man, Citadel
Most banks are moving to WFH from Monday from what I hear.
BofA still hasn’t implemented a specific policy for IB, although individual teams such as FIG have implemented their own policy (WFH with alternating groups in the office). Monday will probably shed more clearity
I think that you are not aware of whats going on. FIG has "two groups" due to a very particular situation
The rest of the groups do have some certain policy, not sure if you work for the bank (at least not in my group), but the MDs were pretty clear on friday showing what they are expecting to do with us (not sure about NRG tho).
Lol @ the fact your mds are still turning up to the office
what about ECM & DCM? Are they working from home?
Any of your banks let people work from home from their home country? I.e you work in London but you're from Amsterdam or say Hong Kong (somewhere safer than the shit show the UK will go through), are you allowed to go back home to work from there?
My friends were denied to leave the UK. From consulting to IB, it seems like a lot of firms are expecting this to be over after Easter.
At my bank we’re doing 1 week rotations between office and WFH starting tomorrow. Hear other are following the same policy.
What about Barclays P&U group in London?
We should see how deep this will take but I am expecting either really low bonuses or some kind of layoffs / hiring freeze in the following months
