Is investment banking hazardous for your health?

<p>It’s a good thing that my daughter was in very good health when she first started working. She didn’t have time for her regular check ups, which led to a $5000 root canal. I think in 2 years she has never called in sick. </p>

<p>In the last month she’s had few Euro deals every week, which meant she had to get to work by 2am and stay until 8 or 9pm. I think she almost reached her breaking in the last few weeks. The good news is she is moving up the food chain because they have new analysts to help her out now. She was able to take today off, which hadn’t happened in two years. She is going to make her decision whether she is staying after Feb. </p>

<p>The starting base salary for first year analyst has gone up a bit, but the bonus is not what it used to be, which is making some of the best and brightest to look at Google, FB…</p>
