Just trying to get a feel on whether banks allow juniors any WFH days during the week. Is this normal? What bank are you at and does it offer and WFH days / do your analysts leave the office to WFH past dinner time?

PWP satellite office, WFH Tuesdays and Fridays, and analysts usually start trickling out by 6pm on days in office and finish up work from home. We also work remotely last 2 weeks of August and last 2 weeks of December (firm-wide policy).
That’s unreal. Do you know do any other banks that do wfh 2 days a week?
Certain Lazard offices (eg. the Lazard group in our city). I think it’s supposed to be a firm wide thing over there as well but not sure how well it’s enforced in NY.
EVR Menlo Park - 5 days WFH :)
7 days wfh plz fix
Baird WFH M and F
Loved my 2 weeks in my hometown!
does anyone know what the policy is like at evercore?
WFH Fridays, some people tend to transition home 7-8PM but depends on group.
Some groups also have WFH part of August and there are flexible WFH days you can take in addition to PTO
blair is mon and friday remote
Which office(s)?
Would assume every office because the groups across the country all work as one deal team
Macquarie NYC, a lot of groups 4 days in and Friday WFH with others 3 and 2 (Mon/Fri WFH) and others i think most people go in all 5.
That 2 day WFH would be an extra ~$20k in value on base salary for me. Those wfh days go a long way
original commenter. if you are interested in certain teams i can ask around for you!
Anyone know HL LA?
Don't think 5 days is uncommon anymore unfortunately. The ones sticking to 3 days are becoming outliers, 4-5 days is more and more common. Banks are well aware that they have the upper hand
I beg to differ. Majority of banks give at least 1 WFH day.
I said 4-5 days, but 5 is not some crazy outlier anymore like it was 6-12 months ago. Maybe publicly / at a firm level they still tout flexibility, but I know of many IB groups that are unofficially back to 5 days even if the firm has a more relaxed policy. Source: tenured NYC ASO with lots of industry friends who are mostly 4-5 days in office.
With all of the layoffs happening people just aren't going to risk being the one guy holding out if everyone else shows up everyday
Realistically don’t see much value add of juniors staying in the office much later than when directors / VPs leave.
Wells is 4 days in office.
Barclays 4 days
Yes, WFH Fridays
Cowen is 3 days in office, Monday and Friday remote
Does anyone know about Mizuho?
Been told it's 5 days in office
Citi in 3/4 days depending on group
GS/MS/JPM APAC satellite office, no such thing as WFH lol
I work at a boutique and can WFH pretty much whenever I want to. That being said, I usually end up going in most days (but leave at a reasonable hour to finish work at home in the evening) bc it's more efficient for talking to co-workers but no one really cares either way.
MM IB in NYC
WFH one day a week.
Most junior bankers not on deals leave by ~7pm and finish working from home.
I believe this helps reset you and allows a strong second push later in the evening when your brain starts to scramble.
PJT has WFH on Fridays, the month of August, the week of Thanksgiving, and two weeks for Christmas
