Not even kidding, if there was any opportunity to grab early happy hour, I would everytime. Most MD's would be out of office by like 4ish, sometimes earlier....and if that was the case, I was out 5mins after them.
I work in the Prime Brokerage / Settlements department, our entire floor leaves at 2:30 and 3:30 P.M. Office is pretty much dead at 4 P.M.
I'm triggered af
The caveat to this is that we start around 6 am since we're West Coast. Considering we're not IB the hours are much shorter, average 50 hours per week.
...still triggered.. and pulling the trigger. lmk if u need me. I'll be hammered.
I'm cheap, so I usually stayed long enough to order dinner and just surfed the web while I ate then left, unless I had early plans.
If you don't have anything active going on, I think it's totally fine to leave by 6/7 on Friday. If you legit don't know if something will come up, check in with an associate or VP at that time before you leave.
How much earlier do analysts leave on Friday (Originally Posted: 02/11/2011)
than the other workdays?
About 15 minutes earlier. 5 if you work at Lazard.
We all used to be out by 6pm latest on Fridays. VP's rolled out at 4, Associates at 5 and analysts shortly after.
We used to leave a little earlier on Fridays too. Most analysts would be gone by 7 or 8 unless you were actively working on something pressing. Friday nights at the office were always the quietest and most depressing of all.
we try to be out the door by 7 at the latest

Same as every day: ASAP
Usually a bit earlier...though it doesn't really matter, you're still a slave and likely just delaying the work that needs to get done, lol. Definitely good to get out of the office and get some free time. Oddly enough I ran across this article today and thought it was simultaneously inspirational and depressing. Ironically this is why people come to Wall Street, sadly everyone is too busy to mimic this guy's behavior. This is probably not safe for most people's work. There are no bad images, just awesome descriptions, lol. Enjoy.

Just came home now (8). Usually I get off around 6:30 - 8:30.
