For those of us who aren't looking for a lifestyle exit, is survival at Revolut about hard work or is it random and political?

PM1, is the culture at Revolut fair but harsh or is it random/based on luck?
Culture where I am is not the best (let's say it's both IB-influenced and political), but I've grown a thicker skin. However I'm not set up to fail and I don't want to.

I’m not interested in a lifestyle exit either. But want to check if it’s genuinely unbearable or just MBB/banking pressure type culture and hours

Thanks PM1, very clear

I'm currently in Canada and planning to move to Sweden soon so applied for a few spots however I don't have even the slightest idea if
a) applying from Ca will actually get my application tossed out the window
b) I've heard there are gazillion ppl applying so if referral gets me on the radar, instead wasting time just find someone to refer me?
