Hybrid Banks
Are any banks still hybrid? Lot of places seem to be back in 5 days a week. Wanted to know if there are any outliers for 3 or 4 days a week?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there are still some banks operating on a hybrid model. For example:
However, many banks have shifted back to in-office models, with firms like Goldman Sachs requiring employees to be in the office Monday to Friday. The hybrid model is becoming less common, but a few outliers remain.

Most groups at Lazard are in office tuesday-thursday only
^Laz pushed this during an infosession this cycle
I believe CVP is also WFH Fridays but not 100% sure
WFH is going the way of the Buffalo and to make a decision based on that would be unwise. Not going to be around once you hit desk.
I used to work at one of the most flexible banks for WFH. Now 4/5 days a week is mandatory. Do not pick a bank because of WFH policy. Furthermore, this is at your manager's discretion. If he/she wants everyone in 5 days a week, it doesnt matter what bank policy is fine with. As an analyst on the desk, it will be strongly frowned upon for you to wfh for at least 7-8 months if not longer, until you get up to speed.
Agreed. Especially if you are newer to the team, it’s best to be in the office as much as you can just to be in person if someone needs you and to help get up to speed quicker on how everyone operates.
Citi is 3 days a week officially but varies by group
Thought everyone was in 5 days a week
Varies by group -- Industrials, power, M&A are in 5/6 days lol but other groups are still 3/4 from what I understand
