2 Years of Non Stop Work

Is an investment banking analyst program just two year of nonstop work? Feel like every time I finish one thing there’s always something else waiting to be done. No time to take a breather or take inventory of what you’ve been doing. Getting tired of getting chased all the time to finish something.

Yes -- and if you want to do a top tier buy-side exit afterwards it's largely the same the first 2 years there as well.

It's the price of making money and learning a ton. No one ever got into harvard studying every other week.
