Hour Tracker
For the benefit of those looking at the industry from the outside I want to run this little survey.
From 31 October 2010 can people post their hours for each day of the week - also state location, bank (genre if not name), team, pitching / execution, rank
As an example I will give you my day today (30 Oct 2010):
11am - 12am, London, BB, Energy, Pitch, Senior Associate
lol 13 hours on a saturday. you people are crazy.
this would be cool if It got off the ground
Today: 0 hours, Boston, MM PE, Associate Tomorrow: 0 hours
Aggregate hours this past week: 45 (excluding travel time)
0 today.
Probably a 6 tomorrow.
NYC BB
CompBanker, is that typical for PE? Or for MM PE specifically?
I haven't looked into PE too much at this point, but my impression was that the hours are only marginally better than IB...
Today: 2 - 7 PM (from home), NYC, bulge bracket.
-
a little irrelevant but 8 am to 3 am on weekdays (except fridays) plus weekends. bb tokyo office summer intern am looking to summer in nyc this year
I actually keep a spreadsheet for how many hours I work each day. I started in the beginning of September, and so far my range of weekly hours have been between 71 and 104.
As for last week, here is what it looked like: Monday: 8-10:30 Tuesday: 8-12:30 Wednesday: 8-1:30 Thursday: 8-9:30 Friday: 7:15-6:45 Saturday: 2-4 Sunday: Will have to go in for a few hours
Analyst at BB in Houston. Fairly average to below-average week by hours.
I thought Houston bankers were supposed to have a little bit better hours than NY. Are these hours (71-104/wk) pretty standard?
I would say moreso around 80 is standard-that's how much everyone was having last summer when I was an intern. However, we have been crushed the past couple of months. And too be honest, there are some other BBs in Houston that have it much worse.
This Weekend: 0 hours, Boston, MM PE (I guess it'd be classified as such), associate
This past week (which has been my slowest in about 10 weeks) - Monday: 8am to 5pm: in NYC for ratings agency meetings, back to Boston - Tues through Thurs: 7:45am until 7pm: quarterly reporting for portfolio companies, financing presentation / discussion. - Friday: 8:15am until 5pm: Same as above.
As mentioned above, this past week was probably the lightest it's been in awhile.
Ok - BB, London, Senior Associate, Energy Team
30/10 11am - 12am (as above) 31/10 11am - 3.30am 1/11 9am - ? (will confirm later)
MM, London, Long term intern / Analyst / grunt man(whatever you wanna call it), Emerging markets

BB, NY, Corp Fin (MO)
11/1/10 (american date notation represent...)
8:15am-9:30pm

Week so far:
BB, London, Senior Associate, Energy Team
30/10 11am - 12am 31/10 11am - 3.30am 1/11 9am - 3.40am

lindamas - wtf are you talking about? why is this a troll post? this is for real son. don't insult me from your college dorm - show some respect.
it is actually pretty useful to see how bad things can get.
will soon rectify the star thing.
There is a reason the hours are so bad - I have no analysts on this fairly important pitch for a beauty parade on Monday!
Hire me, Tier2Sta
