Honestly, how busy are you?
Last fall and winter and the first few months of 2022 were quite the grind, but now it's a complete 180. Instead of working past midnight all the time and rarely having free weekends, I'm able to leave at a very reasonable hour every weekday and now nearly all my weekends are practically work-free. It's all a bit surreal. I am really enjoying this newfound peace and quiet, but can't help feeling a bit antsy about how much work has scaled back. Curious to hear about how other groups and banks are faring in terms of WLB.
1st year at a boutique and I’m grinding 9-11 Monday through Thursday, 9-6 Friday and maybe an hour or two on weekends. 2nd year I’m working with is getting hammered tho lol
Ngl after the majority of my first year, I'd consider that schedule to be not bad at all
Agreed brother. Am enjoying the lifestyle atm. This definitely won’t last tho
Deal flow is very slow right now.
Deal flow so slow that you would find it at the special olympics
Deal flow is slow but my MD is finding all sorts of ways to “stay busy” - also known as having us create a bunch of meaningless thematic busy work decks so he can feel like we aren’t actually sitting on our hands. Seriously though. Super light deal flow but I am still grinding on meaningless shit. So frustrating.
At a boutique. Don’t know any analysts on less than 2 live deals, whole group is getting killed
At a top 2 HC BB on the street. Group has been getting worked (100 hour weeks for most analysts). lots and lots of pitching / marketing / client relationship maintenance work, but things finally seem to be slowing down
Depends on your group, ECM and to a lesser extent DCM have had absolutely no work.. but as an O&G intern at a BB, whole group is just absolutely underwater
Houston doesn’t have many lateral openings excluding Citi right now. Hard to believe oil and gas is really booming for most BBs
still very busy at my BB (RBC)
BB tech coverage on the west coast... pls send help...
