Hello,

I have been working in SG in New York.
I am French I dont know about american banks but Corporate culture may be different.

Traders work from 8:30 AM to 7 PM. Sales may start early in the morning if they have British customers but they usually leave at 5PM. I was working as a trading assistant from 9:30 to 7PM or later. However it depends on which desk you are working.

Colleagues were not aggressive (it does not mean they are not bright !)

I cant tell about compensation cause people do not talk a lot about it (French culture).
