Based on the most helpful WSO content, secondaries advisory hours in London can vary depending on the firm and workload. However, in general, the hours are likely to be less intense compared to traditional investment banking roles. For example, some boutique firms in London report hours around 9am to 9pm on weekdays, with minimal weekend work, such as occasionally reviewing work for a few hours on a Sunday. This aligns with the broader trend of slightly better work-life balance in secondaries compared to other areas of finance.
As for exit options, professionals in secondaries advisory often transition to roles within private equity firms, particularly secondaries-focused funds like Lexington, Ardian, or Blackstone Strategic. Other potential exits include roles in asset management, family offices, or even moving into direct investing roles within private equity or venture capital.
