For those of you in commercial real estate groups at big firms, what do your hours usually look like? How frequently are you working nights & weekends? I’m at a midsize firm and, since the timing of my deals is pretty predictable, I work long hours during the week but can usually avoid a lot of weekend work (until closing week). I’m entertaining some interview offers from bigger firms and wondering how anomalous my current experience is (4th associate, for reference).
