I was in IB/Equities before this consulting gig and people there talk about making $10k/day or $17 million the year before. No matter how rampant the douchebaggery was, they had real money to show for. When I hear these kind of stuff in our industry, I'm like bitch please, y'all get paid the same amount regardless working 40 or 80. It's like they're in a dick measuring contest, albeit long and thick nobody can even get them hard enough to actually fuck.

There's a point at which performance gets worse and you look like a loser, even to your bosses. Not to mention the health effects from overwork, and the fact that beyond a certain point, your bonus won't be bigger anyway.

Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
