Depends on the bank. I've heard of Barclays people working very normal hours (like 60 a week). I've also heard of MS/GS people absolutely sweating it, definitely breaking the 80-100 barrier. So ymmv.
Gotta remember that as an intern, not only do you have regular work but you have projects on top of your work + networking. Some banks don't hold back.
Are international students allowed to work 80-100 hours a week in London during the summer holidays?
You have the visa paperwork, not me
No limits for summer hours. I'm on a Tier 4 and the 20 hour limit is only in force during term time. If you’re on a student visa, this should apply to you, but the info will be right on your visa so be sure to check.
If you can't hack summer hours good luck as an analyst. On a reel, usually 60-70, then as a analyst 1 70+
60-70 sounds encouraging
my friend interned at JPM last summer in their Media&Telecoms group, good day: 9-12, bad day: 9-6AM
How often did bad days come along?
quite often. JPM London has protected weekends once a month, but......
expect 9am-midnight. That’s what a family member was doing at an ibank in Canary Wharf. Expect to work on weekends and be alert and hope you can be finished by 6pm I’d say.
Kind of surprised that weekend work is still common. Do any banks enforce a policy of no work on weekends? Can understand some work on Sunday afternoon / eve to plan for the week or catch up on work. But work on Saturdays and Sunday morning?
