Project Finance at a MM

Does anyone know what WLB/hours would look like for a position within a Project Finance lending team at a MM bank?? The group would fall within their Asset Finance Group/Branch. Can’t seem to find any definitive answer on what WLB would look like within project finance, and this type of role specifically.

What kind of bank exactly ? Is it one of the typical European project finance banks ?

Lending at a project finance commercial bank (MUFG, SMBC, the European banks) should be less hours than IB-maybe 50-60 hours in a normal week but can get much higher in the middle of deals. Project finance mandates take longer to close than say a typical M&A deal, which usually results in not as many fires to put out last minute.

 

Just a typical MM bank in the US that has all the typical functions of a corporate and investment bank
