From the people I know that started working there post-undergrad, the environment in 2007 (when they started) was not the environment that it is currently today. You can take that for what its worth, the people I know that work in the nola offices have been working 55 hr weeks year round.

That's bad. But it's not really terrible for someone just starting out. Compare that to any entry-level sell-side finance position and I think 55 looks pretty attractive if you're one who doesn't want to live at the office. You would know better than me.

I worked public accounting when I graduated in 2006 and the environment has definitely changed. It may have been me getting more experience and having more responsibilities but I started around 40-45 hr weeks and then by the time I left it was around 55-60 during non-busy season (Jan - April).
