Not IB but I leave when the work is done now - have started going in consistently and cannot pick work back up after getting home, showering, etc.
I usually leave around 6-7 and around 10-11 once or twice a week.
Out of the office by 5-6, log back in when I’m home
6:30, log on at home if I have to. Don’t really understand the in office thing.
You lucky bastards, my bank hates WFH and has us all come in 5 days a week...so the earliest I'd ever leave is 7.
Leave at 6ish and WFH for the remainder of the evening.
Yup 6pm-7pm usually
Where you work?
Leave office at 6 then work at home afterwards
Where do you work
Hours seem much more flexible FT. As a SA, I was leaving around 12:30am then WFH
Really? I was one of the last people in the office one time around 9pm because I was just finishing up notes to distribute from a DD call and the only other person there was my Associate who told me to go home lol. We weren't encouraged to stay past like 1830
No SA/FT An was leaving before 12am in my group. Only got away with leaving early a couple of times bc I was attending networking dinners. Thought these hours were normal, now realizing they're not
I leave at 4:45-5:15 and finish my work at home.
I usually leave between 5:30-7 depending on the amount of work I have, then just log back on once I get home if I have more work.
Most people in my group leave around when everyone else in the thread has said. I usually don’t like to plug in from home bc it messes up my flow and I get more distracted at home. Usually leave around 10p-midnight.
Did you mean when do people leave the office? Or is this some cool new slang I’m unaware of?
Leave 6ish
Back on from home if needed.
I leave around 10pm if I go to the gym, 9pm if not. anecdotally, most of the juniors are gone by then. I prefer getting brunt of my work out the way, send comments before I leave and then log back in at home around 11pm to check work and send more comments as needed. Try to log off before midnight.
What an absolute hardo loser. Midnight work as a vp consistently?
yes, that's what happens when you have something called deal flow and people want to actually work with you, neither of which you've probably experienced.
You are the problem
6-7PM. Office is a ghost town after then
Where you work?
I'm staying late today, so maybe 3-4ish, then finishing up at home. PM, btw.
6pm and wfh
What banks are analysts leaving at 6pm to wfh??
Need to know lol
It's more so group dependant.
The responses here are definitely not anyone in Houston… about to be VP and still cranking 90+ hour weeks consistently. I usually leave the office sometime after 11 just to unwind a little and get a change of scenery.
What bank?
I'm in PE and usually leave the office at around 10pm. No work from home after that unless something urgent comes up. My VPs usually leave around 8pm. No full days from home as our partners seem to love having people at the office..
Most of my office starts trickling out around ~5:30 pm or 6 or so, depending on when the partners leave. I am usually gone around 6-6:30ish, maybe 7 or 8 if I am working on something that I don't want to pick up back home. Work from home in the evening if needed, but being on the principal side of things means our deadlines are usually not as strict outside of Deal/IC sprints.
5... AM the next day.
I want to be a hardo so bad, am I doing it right?
PE - leave around 8-9 pm since no deal flow right now
Get in at 10, workout at 11, leave at 1pm. Can you guess my position?
Someone who posts a day in the life working at (insert huge tech company)
MD?
7pm. Glad many others can head out early too. Makes the job more bearable.
It’s incredibly nice to be able to head home at a reasonable time and get work done remotely. It’s not like face time even matters after 5pm anyways.
6:30 to 7pm on most days. Most vp to mds head out before 6pm anyways.
PE, usually leave around 9pm as a median over the past year, but ranges from 5pm to 4am.
If I leave early, back on from home until at least 10pm pretty much every day.
Been like this for more than a year.
At a well-known LO, and after 6pm it's a ghost town. They turn the office lights off at 7pm.
Usually leave right around 6pm and log in at home if needed.
M&A boutique - in at 9/9:30 and out on average at 11pm and work from home (almost always work from home until 1 or 2 am)
Few years back (pre-covid) all you heard was analysts having to stay chained to the desk till 9-10pm regardless of if there was deal flow or not.
Has there been a huge shift in IB culture, or just lack of deal flow, or am I missing something?
