I used to work a whole week on it and slept 2 full days - Saturday and Sunday.. the entire days.

That's investment banking for you

I've worked 8 hours jobs that crushed me, and then I've worked 14 hour days that were nothing. It's all about the environment and what you're actually doing.

Most are exchange nuts. They would spend 100 hours anyways at home looking at markets. Goldman for example hires only finance nuts, all they want is that you have high iq and that your number one passion is markets and trading.

I lasted 7 months at Merrill in Chicago. Shit was not fun.

More often than not, you're in the office 24/7 Mon-Fri. People kept clothes in their offices, showered at the gym on the 1st floor, ate junk food and delivery, and had their clothes dry cleaned. Maybe 8-10 hours a day you are actually working. The rest is spent in waiting rooms for meetings (people are always late because they are wealthy as fuck and don't care about you), waiting for something to come in, etc. You will spend your entire life doing work you don't get credit for. All for an equivalent hourly wage that is less than a Registered Nurse.

Enjoy. The good news is that this only lasts for 4 years. Then you're either one out of 50 analysts that move up or get fired.

You gotta do cocaine and jerk off 2 times a day, everyday.
