PE/GE/VC Hours Worked Survey - Please take it!

In light of all the recent chatter regarding WLB in PE/GE/VC I wanted to be able to quantify just how good / bad everyone's lifestyle is and how that varies across firms.

If you currently work in PE/GE/VC please consider taking this survey. All responses will be aggregated and anonymized and then shared back here for the benefit of all those who work in / are interested in PE/GE/VC.

Thanks!

Not OP, but I'll give it a bump. Would love to see responses.

Sharing results! Final N = 31 (though the survey is open if sharing the results inspires more people to participate)

Three interesting takeaways for me:

1. Unsurprisingly average hours worked scale as you move from VC (59) to GE (68) to PE (72)

2. Latest fund size is not a good predictor of hours

3. People seem to like Growth the least from an NPS perspective (though N is low)

Rather than making a bunch more cuts I figured I'd just give you all the raw data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lPQtns22PR_9T5DXQMdkgJUEkEobMXv…

What insights do you all see?
