The article below might be interesting if you’re considering a career in investment banking. While work hours still remain incredibly high and you will be prioritising work over your family and social life, the balance has improved a bit over the years. The first few years are always the most stressful however slowly as you level up to managerial positions it does get better. However a key take is that this profession is not for the weak hearted so if getting your 8hrs of sleep a day and having a good work life balance is important to you then maybe consider some other areas in financial services such as commercial banking or consultancy.
