16 hours a day this week so far, Sunday - Wednesday
Thursday off (hopefully)
12 hours on Friday (hopefully)
Saturday off (hopefully)
Upcoming Sunday is back to a normal 16 hour day
Sounds like hell brother. Do you normally get Saturdays off?
Friday 7pm - Sunday 10am is protected for our bank
Been pretty slow for me, 8-10hrs of work w day Monday - Wednesday. We have Thursday, 1/2 Friday and all Saturday off.
Thankfully my senior bankers actually care about family time
Ahhh the stockholm syndrome…
No they don’t. They would throw their kids in traffic for a $30B sell side tomorrow
jesus, i hope the exits are worth it

BB or boutique? How many deals are you on?
This is one of the below:
1) Bullshit
2) You work at a 10 man boutique sweatshop where anything goes
3) You aren’t getting deliverables for all these days and are extremely inefficient with your time, don’t know how to prioritize and plan in advance, or a mix
I work at a very reputable bank and my friends across multiple coverage groups here and at other firms who are a mix of mid to strong performers are not even remotely close to what you’re describing
Nobody is working 8 hours on thanksgiving unless it is self induced or you are about to close a $50bn M&A deal this upcoming Monday (you’re not)
Bro working on BlackRock/HPS or what?
Consistent 9:00 - 5:00 this week.
Have tomorrow off according to MD but know other deal team members will be pinging me for stuff. Will not reply idgaf
This is the right attitude. If they want to spend Thanksgiving working that’s nice but you don’t need to.
Wasn’t clear but by 9:00 - 5:00, I mean 5:00am. On a live deal and it fucked my entire week
Thursday to Sunday protected. Classic group
About a total of 5 hours spread across Wed, Friday, and Sunday. So pretty light
Edit: Monday was like 9-6, Tues was 9-5 basically
