<p>Moritz Erhardt was an exchange student from Germany studying at the University of Michigan and was interning at the Bank of America in London when he died after reportedly working 72 hours in a row. </p>
<p>One former investment banker confirmed that interns could regularly work 14 hour days. Interns can regularly clock up to 100 or even 110 hours a week, but people are fully aware that banking is hard work. Students felt they had to stay all night to be offered a job. </p>
<p>Every intern’s worst nightmare is what’s called ‘the Magic Roundabout’ – which is when you get a taxi to drive you home at 7am and then it waits for you while you shower and change and then takes you back to the office.</p>
<p>Another commenter said his time in a banking internship was “the worst three months of his life.” </p>
