Friday was my last day as an intern at a NYC Investment Bank (bulge bracket).
We were given $35 per day on meal stipends, I got this as my last lunch.
Thoughts? I tried to eat as healthy as possible since we were working 12+ hours a day

For me it went like this
>8am wake up
>in office by 8:30
>lunch at 12pm, either with co-workers or at my desk depending on the workload
>if it's an easy day we're done by 9-10pm (10% of the time)
>if it's a regular day 11-12pm
>if it's a shitstorm 2-3am

Investment banking is a different beast from consulting though. 80hr weeks are standard

Was it worth the crazy hours? I knew a bunch of people who went into IB and they seemed like they made a ton of money but also spent a lot of it because they needed an apartment near the office that was expensive, ate all their meals out, and paid for a ton of conveniences since they had no time

The compensation is good especially for a college kid straight out the door. I'll be making $110k base with around 50-100% in bonus.
That's good $$$. The meals thing is a non issue since you pretty much only have to pay for breakfast. The only shit thing is that rent in Manhattan (close to my office) is total robbery.
Anyways, everyone knows that your first two years are sucky and after that you start to make big boy money (300k all in).

If you make it that far, you’ll have friends and family who sadly won’t.
By then your body will be so physically past its prime that your last 30 years will be spent indoors or driving a RV.
You will have responsibilities to your partner and family which will hamper what you can do.

You have a lifetime to make money but you’re only young, fit and responsibility free for a very short period of time.

Money IS everything if you actually use it but everybody gets caught in the trap of saving up for something slight better then they could afford at that moment and never wind up spending it until they're to old to enjoy it.

this is why nothing gets accomplished anymore. we hate our work so much that we make our workplaces as cushy as possible and we reward shirking our duties. true breakthroughs are only accomplished by workaholics who do it because they truly love pushing boundaries for its own sake. this is also why the best chef in your life will always be the one who cooks just to make you happy.

They can't, it's a business just like anything else. Consulting firms have partners and managing directors that are extremely well connected and knowledgeable about certain industries. They leverage those connections to get consulting contracts at businesses they used to work for and still have buddies at.

Then they bill out $500/hr for some interns/associates to use some basic sql queries to put together some reports for management that anyone could have done with a tiny bit of business knowledge. Then the big wigs all gather round the numbers, make some decisions that will never come to fruition, and move on so they can say to shareholders they investigated other strategies. It's purely a cover-your-ass move.

Average partner time to associate time billed on a client is like 1-12. So you have all these companies shelling out 500/hr for BCG, when in reality they're just getting some undergrad report monkey that brings zero value. It's pretty much total non-sense.

Source, I used to work for a big 4 firm and have friends that still do. It's a joke. It's also hilarious when you hear people try to talk up their jobs so much, when they're actually just bullshit. It's basically LinkedIn personified.

i'm a workaholic, but i take a lower paying job to have wfh schedule and fewer responsibilities.

to get me in the office 80 hrs a week, i need my coworkers to be minimum 50% fresh out of college sluts to fuck in the bathroom. 80+ hrs a week with free lunch doesnt cut it.

While true, it's not worth sacrificing the absolute majority of your life to pursue. A modest salary still keeps you alive and can be enough if you're not a consoomer bugman.
