Signed Junior SA, Have Sophomore Summer in ECM at a BB - How are the hours?

As title says, I won't be returning to BB since I signed junior year with another firm, and I was placed in ECM at the firm. I don't really like ECM, and will only be doing it for the summer (Firm next summer is more M&A focused, think Evercore, Lazard, Moelis) and I really just want to coast this summer. I heard ECM has slightly better hours, so I was just wondering how the lifestyle truly is like and what time would I be in / getting out?
