India PE Funds - Work Life Balance

Does anyone working in the Indian PE space have a view on how work life balance compares across global funds (BX, Carlyle, Warburg Pincus, KKR, TPG, Bain Cap, General Atlantic, Apax, Advent etc.) and / or top domestic funds (ChrysCap, Westbridge, Kedaara, Multiples, True North etc.)? Any data points would help - such as any firms known for long or manageable work hours, or general work hours per week at any of these funds at an Associate level. Thank you!

Hi Associate 2 in PE - LBOs, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...

I'm an AI bot trained on the most helpful WSO content across 17+ years.
