Reply to comment by cheradenine66 in Morgan Stanley finally lures bankers back to the office 5 days a week by smallint

Not everyone is a 22 year old analyst.

I’m a director at a top bank…the recent graduates will likely grind it out for the exit ops regardless of schedule.

The 30-something mid-career person with kids, who has built childcare around a hybrid schedule…they will hop.

My bank is at 3 days in the office, I will leave if it’s 5 days. I’ll join a second tier bank if it means I don’t have to commute and not see my family five days a week.

This article isn’t even accurate anyways. VPs and directors absolutely are not showing up 5 days a week at Goldman, JPM, and MS anyways. It’s really just the analysts and associates, and even then, it’s really only four days a week.

Anyone who is that far in an IB career isn’t doing or is worried about childcare.

Believe it or not, childcare isn’t just the practice of finding someone to watch your kid.

Some parents actually want to like, physically be around their kids. Weird concept I know.

Some do. A few years ago I was doing gig-work at a food court in some bougie day care in Tribeca. During the week it was the kids and their Latina/Filipina nannies. On the weekend, when it was time for the parents to spend some "quality time" with their kids, it was more like moms drinking wine and chatting with each other and the dads drinking IPA's while watching football on their phones while their kids they've barely seen all week were climbing the walls for attention. I'm convinced that to rich people kids are just expensive pets.

Can’t they just hire some low-income poors or illegal immigrants to watch their spawn?

Those parents are unlikely to choose investment banking as a career then
