I am an analyst, title is a hold over from FDD days

At my regional EB, in by 9am and out between 10 pm to midnight M-Th. Friday out by 7-9pm. Weekend work can be 0 hours to 10+.

During live deals, these numbers would be worse.

Nice. Do you think you could’ve gotten to that cushy role without IB?
