re: How do you feel about young NY investment bankers being worked 80-100 weeks?

Weakness. We were grounded to a stump after year 3 but year 4 they approach you with the olive branch that is a normal existence and $500k to survive. What they don’t tell you is that along the way you’re showered with opportunity that will come from no where else other than those jobs. I ended up getting poached by a PE firm. While it was a completely different speed, the guys above me were all ex guys too so it was a right of passage and could only get that job because of my previous experience.

Fast forward to today, my wife (no pics), is in her 7th year post med school, residency/fellowship and finally getting a job. These pussys can’t handle three years, while my wife gave birth to two kids, researched a project that will soon be adopted by the PICU community, and made no more than $72k along the way. These kids are soft.
