In your group, do people usually switch to work from home after a certain time at night? If so, do you guys think that's bad from a face time perspective (if some folks are still there / even if your deal team doesn't seem to mind)?

No. Go home at 6:00 every night to log on back at home unless I’ve got something that needs to get out urgently and I don’t have time to get home
How does this work with meal / taxi allowance?
at my firm you generally forego that if you switch to wfh (was different during covid). i think that's why some analysts/aso's stay longer (just for the meal + car)
Doesn't change meal comping at my bank but heard other banks can be assholes about it (cough barclays)
Work at a smaller office of an EB and we work a lotttt. People (incl. juniors) start leaving by 6-7 ish normally and wfh then on. We have been asked not to care if there are any seniors in the office to leave, as some seniors like to complete their work and head home.
Most analysts leave around 6 PM now and WFH anyways, unless you're too slammed to take a quick commute home or you want the dinner stipend/Uber
I work in office 3 days a week and go home every day in office between 5:30-6:30pm. If your whole team stays late all the time then I’d probably follow along for the camaraderie but if it’s truly unnecessary and your VPs are all gone by 5 then try and get people to enjoy their lives more and go home. It’s just so unnecessary to stay late in an office all the time when your direct supervisors are just going to call you when they have questions.
the only time I see this necessary is when you live in NY, and live in a $3000 per month shoebox without a proper workspace.
thanks everyone!!
