Banking Lifestyle at Smaller Boutiques

So I was curious to know what is the lifestyle/working hours for analysts at Florida-based banks including Crosstree, Hyde Capital, Cross Keys Capital etc. Any inputs from our peeps here? Thanks in advance!

I’m not at any of the banks you mentioned but I’m at a low tier / relatively unknown bank as an associate 1 so can offer my insight into what it is like at one of these type of firms

culture: 100x better than BB/EBs

hours: 50-60 hours per week when quiet/not on live deal and around 70+ hours when on a live deal. No weekend work.

pay: total comp is around 30% below market standard. Pretty fair trade off considering the better work life balance and culture
