I have absolutely nothing to do 95% of the time. Lowkey worried I’m just gonna get laid off or something since they’re basically paying me to sit around and turn pitch comments for a couple hours each day :/
Are u first or second year?
1st year. Just hit the desk about 2 weeks ago
I’m in the same boat. A lot of the analysts I started with and I haven’t gotten a lot of work yet. When I work from home sometimes I don’t even get more than five emails in a day. Everyone goes home at 6 or 7 and finishes up remotely.
Could u pm me, I’m literally the same way
Renewable energy group is super chill. I WFH 2 days a week. for the three days that I go in I can sometimes even leave at 5 and finish work at home. If people go in on Fridays we wear jeans and sneakers and are crushing brews by 4:30
Do you know if any of your colleagues in other IB groups have similar schedules in comparison to your group? And is this AN1 or associate and above?
WFH two days a week.
On days I come in I leave around 5-6. Sometimes sooner(like 3), if I know I have a bunch of 8pm evening calls I'd rather take from home than stay in office for.
Zero facetime. Most MDs are barely in the office now and they all leave super early.
I have a friend who literally comes in at like 11, and leaves after lunch on his in office days. He leaves near the office so its a quick walk. No one really notices or cares.
How late do you work from home?
depends. sometime really late. sometimes earlier. I get home, log into my computer, turn on my mouse scroller so I never get logged out (third party app I downloaded which keeps my mouse moving ever so slightly when im idle), and leave my inbox running on my large monitor so I can casually glance at it throughout the day/evening if anything pops up
in office 5 days a week. last week was good (i.e. able to leave early and no work).
now working a bit later (i.e. in from 9.30am till 11pm to 12am) with occasional work on weekends so about 60 to 80 hours a week. When shit is live then it's 80+
