You are definitely not in S&T. Let me break down hours in Markets: in at 8am for meetings/market updates -> Asia markets desks typically self declare close at ~6pm (if you don’t already know, they don’t follow exchanges as most if not all are OTC trades) > wrap up admin stuff (trades for tomorrow, prospecting/BD, tickets not booked yet/trades not accepted yet, trades/tickets coming in from EMEA etc -> anything pending/failing to follow up on? -> any client/regional meetings or dinners?
Typically 8am-7pm spent in the office assuming it’s a smooth day/no client meetings -> go home do ~1 hour of admin (finally replying to emails, review and give approvals for any charges/amendments etc, monitoring markets for tmr, creating new trading models etc), weekends continue with admin for about 4 hrs.
