Staying in the Office Late Post-COVID?

Hey all,


Recently have started going back into the office (4 days a week). 
 

My team has been staying late on most nights, usually leaving around 12AM to 1AM. 
 

I feel like a good amount of my friends at different banks find that they can go home a bit earlier, relative to post COVID, and continue working from there.

Is anyone else finding that they still stay in the office late like they used to?

wow that sounds really bad

before covid I was in office past 10PM every day (we got taxis expensed after 10). I'd say nearly every analyst and associate was there then.  Most left around midnight...sometimes later.

Now that im back in office the past 5 months...I'd have taken 1 taxi home.  I was the only one in the office then (after 10).  I have not heard of anyone staying there past 10....whatsoever.
