Is my team sweaty? London

Have recently lateraled as an A2 in a London EB. For the past 4 months , I’ve been working pretty much all weekdays until 2 AM and Fridays until 11-12. Also I’ve probably worked 80% of my Sundays (all afternoon until midnight). My Saturdays and Sunday mornings have been free tho. Issue seems to be that seniors have no life outside work so they like to send comments on Sunday Friday night for instance.
Wanted to check how this compares to other A2 / junior assoc experiences in London

The weekend work sounds indeed rough, but imo until 2am is hard but not super sweaty. Looking at super sweaty teams, hours go regularly until 3/4am
