God damn
This is why KBW wasnt my first choice lmao
Bank Type (BB, EB, MM, Boutique): EB
Group: Generalist
City: NYC
Hours per week: 30
Even 30 is probably an overestimate for actual work / logged in time. I assume this is part of the ramp given its first week after training but damn.
Same exact situation here
same here
Not trying to air out but is this EVR? If so, I completely agree. It has been alarmingly light so far — I know I should appreciate the free time, but it’s a bit uncanny
BB, TMT, NYC, 40-60, and that’s a stretch. Probably 30 hours of actual work? It’s weird
MM
NYC
Industry
I sit at my computer for 100, I end up doing like 40 hours of actual work
.
15 hours a day? that's not 75 hours bro
no weekends ig
Bank: MM
Group: Coverage
City: HOU
Hours: 80-95 depending on the week
Actual work:40-50 hours, expecting this to ramp up really quickly. Have worked both the weekends on the job, but we are killing it in deal flow and I am only on live deals. Great experience so far and looking forward to the rest of my internship.
Are you guys working weekends?
So far, yes. MM LevFin btw
What's your work scope consist of right now? Will be starting MM LevFin soon in London.
Yes.
