Ofc its not all as bad as TMT but you will be far away from easily hitting the gym. 

Its IB and Cap Market teams work pretty hard as well, if the market is hot. So looking for the chill opportunity would be more about leaving between 11pm - 1am while other teams stay 2-3 more hours. You dont do this for the free time, you get the GS (or any other decent bank / boutique) stamp & experience and profit off that once you move on.

9-23, that too only Mon-Thurs. so you’re expecting a much lighter weekend.

Idk if you’re delusional or just naïve, but that’s not gonna happen at GS IBD.

If that is your expectation then you gotta choose a different bank because you will get seriously disillusioned.
