Does anyone know what are the hours in PE ops? Are late nights and weekend work really the norm?

Can only speak for friends but they typically work 9-6:30 5 days a week.

I work for a US fund manager in PE Ops/value creation in London. 55 hours is average and half day Friday’s in the summer. When there is a specific event/activity then hours can be similar to due diligence in consulting but this is less than 20% of the time for me.

Sure.

Ops is not investment side. Assume 50-60 hour weeks, with a lot more flexibility on when you work.

If you’re doing value creation for a portco, expect consulting type hours. If not the rest of the time would be 9-6/7

Gotcha, just trying to understand the difference with consulting. Because I’ll be on a project doing 60-70 hours for 8 weeks then be beached for a couple doing 20 then back on. From that perspective this sounds the same? Or are the ratios different?
