Average weekly hours by Private Equity strategy

Obviously team/culture/interest dependent, but wondering what the rough 'ranking' of hours is in general across private equity strategies at the junior level.

From what I've heard on average (rough order from least to most):

50 hours ---

FoF 

Secondaries

VC

65 hours ---

Credit 

Growth

Real Estate

80 hours ---

Infrastructure

Corporate
