I'm moving to the city next week and dealing with setting up all the utilities and stuff. I was wondering if anyone had good advice on the best provider for cable/internet? I know a lot of analysts dont have the time to really take advantage of it, but I'm willing to spend the money so that I can really relax when I am home.

What kind of hours do summer analysts in S&T normally put in? I know FTs normally are doing something resembling getting in 6-7 and leaving 5-8 depending on the desk, but do summers put in much more other than always being the first in and last to leave (and any weekends?). Just curious what to expect

S&T Summer Analysts (Compared to IBD)

So everybody on these boards is always talking about the experience of summers in IBD and its SA to FT rates. Obviously as a summer in trading you cant do as much because you arent licensed, but do you still put in the long hours (of course you are doing everything you can to be noticed, but it seems like at the end of the day, their just isnt as much you can do late into the night). Also are th
