Non-IB BB C-suite - London

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the culture in EMEA, particularly in London, can vary significantly. However, it is not uncommon for senior executives, including non-IB C-suite executives at bulge bracket banks, to be expected to read and respond to work emails on weekends and non-working days. Here are some key points:

• Weekend Work Expectations: In corporate India, for example, Saturday was historically a working day or half working day. While this is no longer officially the case at most places, the willingness of an MD/Partner to schedule meetings or expect things to be done/submitted on a Saturday can be extremely high.
• Overall Hours: This culture can make the overall hours worked about 10% higher than elsewhere, indicating a high level of commitment and availability expected from senior executives.
