[quote=Anonymous]I was a Wall Street banker as my second job. Right out of college I heard everyone complaining about the hours and wondered what they were doing wrong. Then I got there and it was truly awful. At least in my role, it was not awful 52 weeks a year. But when it got bad, it got really bad. And part of the problem was things would just pop up - you could be working until 5 pm Monday-Thursday then something hits at 4 pm Friday and your weekend is shot. And there is a decent chance the MD in charge knew about it on Monday but "forgot" to tell you. That being said, I got a huge high out of working on big deals and it felt awesome to close something after working really hard on it. There are a lot of jerks but also a lot of interesting, smart people. It makes you completely neurotic but also teaches some really good work habits and attention to detail.[/quote]
