How often do you work on weekends in a given year? I am okay with a few as necessary. One of my friend has been coming in for a couple of months straight now. Feel that’s pretty excessive.

It's easier to count how many weekends you don't work

That’s what my buddy says. Damn, looks like y’all are in the same boat.

Big difference between coming in vs doing a few hours on a Saturday morning and a Sunday afternoon.

I regularly do the latter (when I can finally get stuff done without client distractions). Almost never spend a day in the office

Saturday is usually my busiest day because people aren’t working and have the mental clarity and bandwidth to make financial decisions. But, I also control my schedule, so I’m typically out of the office around 3:30, if I have no meetings scheduled on weekday’s.

On Sunday, I log in for an hour or two in the afternoon, to reset my tabs because corporate shuts our network down at 3AM on Sunday. But I also plan my week out and see where there are opportunities for me to fill in the gaps.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
