Similar to VP1, 70-80 workweeks were very common, sometimes 90 if things were bad. I had a few 100 hour workweeks which were the worst weeks of my life but typically only if there’s a mega deal or mega pitch.

Rest was 65-75.

Definitely gets better if you can stick it through. Or leave for a boutique with better WLB and slightly less comp (but still relative to others it’s excellent)

Im definitely thinking about it. The pay is good but I also value life outside of work. It’s tough.

In my associate days I was 70-80/week, minimal weekend work, so average 14-ish M-F. It gets better as you move up and are less responsible for creating the content.

That’s about where I am at the moment. Work more hours in certain weeks. Trying to be a standout

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
