All,
Currently lateraling into IBD as an Associate and wanted to check one thing, especially for those in London/Europe. Happy to get answers from fellow US colleagues as well.
Can you currently leave the office around 8/9pm and finish working from home? Can it prevent you from being promoted/is it seen in a bad way?
Thanks

It's entirely group dependent. I would ask some of the associates if it's important to you. Some groups clear out at dinner, and some groups everyone is butt in seat until midnight or later.
I will say, anecdotally it seems like being able to leave early is becoming less common as return to office takes more of a hold
Thanks for the quick answer! Is it the same even for VPs and above as I presume people start to have kids etc?
It’s a nice perk to have but I won’t die if it’s not happening. Hope to grind a few years before being able to do so (if it applies for VPs etc.)
Yep you can leave earlier - most VP+ are gone between 3-6pm especially if picking up kids - but they are definitely logging on until much later
Thanks for the input as well! Are you based in London/EU?
How would you describe hours at the VP/D level?
