DCM typical week/schedule?

Incoming FT at a BB, interned in coverage/m&a last year and hated it mostly because of the ridiculous fire drills (e.g. random emails Sunday at 11pm). Can anyone who works in dcm at a BB explain what the typical week looks like for hours and weekend work?

Curious if dcm is actually going to have a better WLB or will be roughly the same? For reference im not interested in PE or corp dev or any of the other typical exit opps you get from coverage
