Dyal & Co. in 2025
Have heard a lot of different things about the firm over the years, ranging from analysts working from 9-2AM every single day including the weekends which has led to burnout at the firm. Was wondering if anyone can provide color into the matter, and if things have gotten materially better at the firm?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, Gordon Dyal & Co. has been known for its intense workload and long hours, with some describing the hours as "obscene" compared to other boutiques. Analysts have reported working extremely late, which has contributed to burnout. However, the compensation and experience at the firm are often highlighted as exceptional, making it a strong choice for those committed to staying in investment banking long-term.
There isn't specific information in my knowledge base about whether conditions have improved at Dyal & Co. in 2025. However, if the firm's culture and workload remain consistent with past reports, it’s likely still a demanding environment. If you're considering the firm, weigh the trade-offs between the high workload and the potential career benefits.

Obviously, with any smaller boutique, the hours are soul crushing though.
Thanks for sharing. Do you have color into hours? Is it actually 9AM-2AM like everyone says? How hard are the associates and VP's working?
