Indicate the size of your firm (ie bulge > bracket, middle market, etc.) Well I recieved an email from one of our analysts at 3AM on Saturday of a holiday weekend so I know they are doing significantly more hours than me. This is borderline BB. You can probably guess the firm.
ER 7am-5pm on normal days 7am-7pm reporting season + couple of weekend hours
8-6:30 5 days+Saturdays every 3 mos
around 9:45ish (cause it’s Cali, hellz yeah) - 6:30/7pm
wouldnt west coast be earlier mobius?
well i guess if you are a trader on the west coast, better get your a$s up early
ER have to be up early too for the morning calls. But lifestyle out here is better.
At ATT- Maybe a good 4 to 8 hours of real solid work, I “worked” 40 hours a week though. At MS- (only been here for 3 days) Put in about 35 hours so far. On track for 55-60 this week, I don’t even have a log on yet. The strange part is; it doesn’t even feel like work. Getting paid to think rather than juggle your nutsack all day is tremendous.
Smirk - What type of buy-side shop? HF? MF? Alayle - What size firm?
When I was in SS ER my hours were typically 7am-6pm with 5pm finish on a Friday. Lots of travel too. Considerably nicer hours on the buy side I’ve found.

seems to be one of the only, if not the only, to put age too…

I heard some guys saying 30 min for lunch are you serious??? Im in Sao Paulo, my normal hours used to be 9 15 ish to 7 45 ish pm ,with about 90 min for lunch

I also used to take almost two hours for lunch until I spent a couple of years in the U.S. Now I take two 10-minute breaks to eat a small meal each time.
I’m at a boutique M&A firm, and put in anywhere from 40 to 75 a week. Average is probably only 50, though.
