“6:30 Sycophant drops by on his way out. Client meeting next Friday but wants complete turn of a pitch for first thing tomorrow morning (tomorrow morning = when he finally gets around to looking at it at some point next week). A quick calculation; there’s no way I’m getting out of here before four in the morning.”

-The Bitter Investment Banker Email

Ah, the life of an investment banking analyst. What will your hours be? How much work do you actually do? Is it true you play Solitaire most of the day and then only work at night? Do you really have Sycophants dropping off work that they will never look at and telling you to have it done by tomorrow morning? Will you be jammin’ at Goldman Sachs? Is it all worth just to get those amazing investment banking bonuses?
