Fellow VC analysts/associates: what time do you guys go to bed? I’ve been working until 1-2am, Monday-Sunday in the past few weeks and I’m new to this job. Is this normal?

Oh wow. I'm in a very small firm (we're 3 GPs+2 ASCs) and our associates work hard, but probably around 8am-8pm Mon-Thu and half a day on Fri.

How does your week look like? Seems as maybe the filters in the top of the funnel (which are typically much more top-down GP style filters) are too lax so you have a ton of DDs to make. Would that be a fair assumption?

I’m not sure yet since I’m new but thanks for responding. Still trying to figure things out but seems like people are always up…

That sounds about right. Last week I was working 4:30am-1:00am pretty consistently. Typically work 4:30am-7:30pm providing I don’t have all of my projects stacked on top of each other

If you don’t mind me asking, what specifically are you learning?

I work at BCG and have been getting very wary of my employer trying to conflate making me very busy with teaching me a lot

Btw, my day starts at 7am / 7:30am just FYI.

I had no idea VC hours were that long - 7am to 2 am is worse than most banking analyat hours
