70-80 seems standard

From my experience at a growth fund down market from those guys is that it’s intense. High deal flow in the bootstrapped world regardless of business cycle kept me +80 hours consistently in 2023. Have heard growth buyout is sweatier than the minority stakes funds.

Got it. I should’ve clarified that it’s for ops not investing

I’m an outsider service provider (a lawyer) to some of these. From what I’ve seen, analysts have set things to do but their WLB isn’t as intense (despite needing to be available). Associates have a tough time, they’re needed for everything. VPs and above love what they do and are really good at it so if you can achieve that level then your WLB isn’t quite as taxing, you just need to be able to pull the trigger and make big decisions quickly.

The entire Private Equity industry as a whole is not really known for WLB. What do you do now and what is leading you to consider a job with one of these? These sponsors are some of the most wanted by exiting consultants. They’re highly successful and pay rewardingly.

I work at an MBB so basically just want to maintain or slightly lower my hours per week. I don’t know if I can do a lot more (e.g., 10-20 above). I currently work 55-60

I work at a smaller GE fund than the ones mentioned ($3B AUM). Associates work like 50-60 hours on average outside of deal sprints. It’s pretty sustainable but we’re a heavy sourcing shop and the work doesn’t go away when they are on the road at conferences.
