By investment banking standards, a hedge fund work schedule looks pretty tame. Almost 90% work between 40-60 hours per week, with 45% reporting a 50 hour work week.
Relative to compensation levels, some feel they have an additional work load without commensurate compensation. Others feel they earn fair hedge fund compensation given the good work and personal life balance they have achieved. And over 80% of those reporting excellent work/life balance worked 50 hours or less per week. We did find there is a significant jump in income for putting in 50 hours vs. 40 hours per week.
When it comes to vacation earned, the numbers are pretty generous. 71% earned 3-5 weeks, although they only took about 75% of that time off. And those who took little vacation actually earned less than those who took off more time.
