Hours as VC Associate (NYC)?
What are hours actually like working in VC after 2-3 years in banking? Do you have control over your time / life or are there last minute requests that blow up your night / weekend?
Interested in investing but don’t love the IB hours, so a bit hesitant to go PE
Hours are highly dependent on the firm, but generally way less than banking. On average across the industry I'd say ~50-60 per week is standard, more if there's something urgent like a fast moving deal/fundraising/portfolio crisis. Rarely all nighters & weekend work tends to be light (a little bit on Sunday prepping for Monday team meetings). Certain firms can be more intense though - the Tiger Cubs for example (Coatue, Tiger Global etc), and some growth funds like TCV.
