Realized that long work hours is not for me. However, I'm still very interested in investing on the private side. Any PE/GE/VC firms where hours are less than 60 consistently throughout the year that recruit from banking analyst programs?

To add to OP’s question, how should this preference be communicated to recruiters? Will saying I want chill hours make recruiters take me less seriously / view me as a weaker candidate?
