How you ask? Literally go onto the latest ranking thread that the college sophomores made and inverse it if you want to get a nice life.
Hey would you mind if I PM you? Curious about this.
.
Says the prospect
Not bad
EB AN2 just finished first year
~60/week
Occasionally 10-20, occasionally 90-100
Yo where is this EB paradise and how do I escape my sweatshop
West coast best coast
Just looked through my weekly hours, 65 average and median
Had the exact same experience at west coast EB. A handful of weeks were brutal beyond belief but others were almost no work. Typically around the same 65ish and great experience. Often regret leaving honestly..
What are you up to now? Sounds like we had the exact same experience, have had literal 10 hour weeks but have also broken 120. I'm headed off to MFPE but I really like my current role ... was curious about your path.
Cap. No way you’re only pulling 60 at EB
MM Debt Advisory / Restructuring

What firm?

why dont you guys just say the name of the firm if you're anon?
GS coverage group
Aso1
75 hours on average
Pretty decent - guessing this isn't FIG lol
is FIG that bad? spoke with like 5 people while recruiting and they said they had protected Saturdays, went home early (no later than 9pm ish everyday), and had good culture
Was that just all a lie lmao?
base pay. bonus pay?
*Former GS Coverage (just left)
Analyst 2
80-90 hours on average. Protected Saturdays and nearly always had Friday nights free. Sundays were pretty much always full work days.
MS
ASO1 (A2A route)
For last few years, around 80 hours a week. More recently, 55-65 hours on average - deals have been put on hold, we don't pitch too much in my team, I've just gotten a lot better at pushing back and would rather be middle bucket and happy than kill myself for top ranking
morgan stanley?
Associate 1 - base pay and bonus pay?
Jeff (TMT)
Associate 1
