Yes, that's an analyst experience. More senior people just travel half of the time and do client facing work. But to my surprise our MD left office usually just 1-2 hours earlier that everyone else when he was not travelling and he was also available till very late for important tasks that required his attention even from us. He was also always ON and had a lot of different work, not monkey work at Excel/email.

I eventually became an MD. Yes I was always "on", but once I figured out the tricks, I didn't do very much real work at all. It was more about not rocking the boat, and keeping a nice set of senior allies who could support me as and when needed. Basically, politics.
