I’m an attorney in the ABS and RMBS space (big law, 2nd year associate). I bill about 2000 a year so pretty busy but also manageable (will depend a lot on your employer’s culture too). I can’t speak to the bankers/analysts but at least from observation, the ones we work with seem to be working pretty similar hours as the attorneys.

I do a lot of CMBS originations. It's manageable and pretty predictable outside of a few crazy closings. You'll have a few 70 hour weeks if you're slammed but plenty of 35-40 hour weeks too. I love the work and feel like it's a good balance of routine/unexpected.
