Weekend Hours In IB

I wanted to ask you all what your weekend hours looked liked in IB. I'm trying to make comparisons from boutique, MM, BB, EB.

I know a lot of these hours depend on what group you're in and what stage of the deal you're on, but it'd be interesting to see what people post. I'd appreciate it if you had a format like this:

Bank Type: MM
City or Region: NYC or North East
Position: Analyst
Coverage Group: M&A
Saturday: 11am - 5pm (6hrs) for example
Sunday: 11am - 5pm (6hrs)

Please post what a normal weekend is like for you. Do you have time to do much? Ex: play in a city sport league, catch a game, or even a movie every now and then.

 

Thanks for the breakdown, that was very helpful. I'm starting FT in the summer, and I've been trying to gage weekend hours so this post works well!. I'm hoping to join a city sports league on the weekends for fun as well. Some of my friends in IB say Sundays are good for them to do that.

 

Yeah, depends on your group. This is definitely not the norm, my friends in the sweatier groups in my bank say that they haven't missed a weekend in the office since we've started. But, one of the analysts in my group is on a nearby late weekday night sports team (like 10pm game time) and he's able to make it a good portion of the time.
