I work in credit in a mid to large manager. Market is dead right now so on avg 55ish hours a week. When busy closer to 70ish.
My employer only has MM PE arm, and the guys in my office clock in around the 65-75 mark I estimate. London.
55 hours a week for a dead credit market is still a lot. Must be a lot of facetime? I know guys in MM / MF PC struggling to find anything to do in their days.
Yeah, you are right. Most of it tbh is my choice. I get in around 7ish and dont leave until other start to leave so that's part of it.
Also a good time of the year to discuss tricky names with other funds and unfortunately with rating agencies so that's that.
That said, doing a lot for our colleagues in the US and for the special sits team, so whilst the primary is quiet, the rest is still churning, although the level of stress is minimal and no deadlines really.
Getting in at 7 is incredibly early right?Ike most guys I know (including myself) get in at 9ish. I leave at 6/7/8ish at the moment too and am at one of the credit shops mentioned alot on this forum. Although we don't do cross-cap, mainly senior / 2L / PIK only
Yup very early. I am way more productive early on, get a nice quiet cycle in avoiding all the tossers racing on the Thames cycleway and I get the office to myself with no one bugging me or sending emails for an hour/90 mins, which helps.
Fair play man, sounds like you've got your work life together, good on you.
