Probably 50% of the kids in my analyst class quit within a year.  Lots of abisive personalities driving people to literally hospitalization from exhaustion (and then firing the person when the returnee to work).  Telling you Friday at 6pm you need to assemble a merger pitch deck and model for a Monday 9am meeting only to come in on Monday and decide they don’t want to pitch it after all.

Maybe it’s better now…but I doubt it.[/quote]

This. I knew one analyst that would often accidently fall asleep in the men's room as he was exhausted from working 110 hour weeks.

We had one Managing Director we called "5 o'clock Bob" who would tag some poor analyst late afternoon on Friday to work on some pointless project. He knew exactly what he was doing.

There were some truly egotistical asshats in investment banking back in the day. I was unhappy when I was there and would never want my kids to go work in that type of environment. I wonder if it has changed at all.[/quote]
