Sweatshop Reputation
I assume the answer to this question may be largely group dependent, but I am curious which banks have the reputation of working their bankers the longest hours?

Excellent shit
All of them work their analysts hard. Some places, like CVP, are known to be "client-based staffing" so they can be a lot more chill or a lot worse than average BB Hours, which area more consistent week to week (70-90, weighted towards 75).
Some BB groups also do client based staffing. The results ends up being the same where depending on what is happening with your clients, your hours can be highly variable. You might do 3 weeks of 100 hours followed by a week of sub 40 hours.
This, I don't get why people act like "client-based staffing" was invented by Centerview
From what I understand a lot of places have been worse than usual with WFH. I was catching up with a few EB friends this wk and some of them have been a consistent 10am-4am
BBs are fairly similar but generally EBs, Jefferies, BGL, FTP comes to mind
Moelis
MS PA, GS/MS LA, GS Chi. Have heard most BB satellite offices work a ton
Any M&A group
Thoughts on Houston banks and hours?
Jefferies, Moelis, Guggenheim are up there
Heard some rough things about Jefferies as well. Any info on hours for JPM, GS, and MS?
