The truth about investment banking hours

[Zamonee]

I see all sorts of different things online.

To those who have directly worked in the industry and in the front office what are the working hours truly like? Are you finishing at 10pm or is it a slog to the early hours of the morning? Do you have to regularly work weekends and on annual leave?

Does your mental health suffer?

Is the truth about constant 100+ weeks true?

Yes. It’s all true. They don’t pay you a shitload for free.

That said, if you aren’t at a decent IB, your life won’t look like that.
