It is easy to go from big to small. It is extremely difficult to go from small to big.
That’s what she said?
If I worked 12 hours a day, I’d be trying to go from FO to BO instead.

Hours in ER vary depending on sector and analyst. Having worked in ER at various BBs for 4yrs, I’ve clocked +80 hours maybe 2-3 times. It sucks and it’s unsustainable. Former colleagues in consumer staples, beverage and tobacco group (to name a few) probably worked on average 50-60 hours a week outside of earnings vs. former colleagues in energy and healthcare team clocked 70-80 hours a week. Bottom line, it depends.
Does anyone work in ER past their 30s? It seems like too big of a trade off.

And still pulling 50+ hours a week? Not great for their families imo.
Most people in finance probably work 50 hours a week or more. What planet are you from?
A planet called finance where nobody works 50 hours a week or more. Guess I must be doing something wrong.

On the sellside, worked on average 60-65 hours/week (outside of earnings). Now on the buyside, work on average 45-50 hours/week (including earnings).
