What are the main differences between M&A and LF in terms of hours (both at the analyst level and as you rise in the ranks)? Does it mainly depend on the bank? I'm looking to stay in the southeast, so when I ask this I'm thinking of BofA, Wells, Truist, etc.

Usually very similar hours if the bank holds the model like CS does. Some banks don't and only work on the deal execution which can make hours a bit shorter like JPM. Don't expect much difference though
If you think JPM LevFin hours are short, think again

I did not say hours are shot, I said they were a bit shorter than banks who hold the model.
So does FSG lead execution of buysides at JPM? Or is it M&A / coverage
I don't think wells LevFin does modeling. Hours will be fairly similar between a busy LevFin team and a busy M and A team within the same bank.
