Varies by deal, project and office
Larger deals are more data to swift through, large mega fund PE firms have tighter deadlines and offices are aligned to certain industries ie. Bay is tech, south is oil, manufacturing etc. Hours start slow and usually ramp up once drafting report. Deal turn around time is about a month
Not in FDD but in M&A tax. We are usually ~55-60, and I think FDD is in the same ballpark
I would say on average 50-60, but some groups/offices have less hours
I’ve had crazy hours. The worst one I’ve had was over a 4-6 week period , worked Monday to Sunday 9am to 3am daily.
But typically deals would be about 70-80 hours
Sounds more like a stereotypical Asian work life than anything.

Depends on the company, office, deals, rank, etc
~60 serving megafund PE depending on staffing and deals going through
There is no typical
Bad hours
