5:30 - I didn't expect others to be waking up so early as well! I thought I was in the minority..

Highly dependent on location in my experience too. New York is "late" with many people (across levels) coming in around 9 or a little later but people also stick around later in the evening

At clients in suburbs and Midwest often needed to be there by 8am, and some of our other offices also have an "earlier "culture.

Personally when in NY I get up between 7-7:30

Any advice on where to go from here appreciated too!
