I heard a rumor from a friend that an analyst at an Evercore regional office passed away this week. I don’t know if they had any underlying health issues but sounds like they had been working long hours.
Is there any truth to this? Sad to hear if true.

Texas office so I think so

These analyst/associate deaths are just becoming more frequent… not only is nothing changing the problem is becoming structurally worse
The Truist one seemed to be sweeped away, haven’t heard anything about it since the initial post
It’s not even news it’s routine. This is a disgusting evil industry
That's terrible. What office? I have a buddy at the ATL office and he hasn't mentioned it

It was a first year analyst in the Houston office. He had a seizure and have not heard any updates since. Poor guy but it makes me wonder if the dude was coked up or something because this happening after only a year is crazy
If that’s true, he may have had an underlying condition and a lot of stimulants (legal or not) with v little sleep may have unfortunately triggered something.
Have heard of cases where people have died after having some adderall and no sleep with an underlying health condition they weren’t aware of.
If anyone is familiar or in the group, can you please talk to the media / finmeme accounts / publicize? let’s spread awareness and name and shame seniors who caused this
Yeah, don't wait for the facts, just jump to the victimhood and shaming. Facts can really ruin a party.

Unfortunately not shocked. EVR had an issue where the entire first year class quit - or a majority of the class before the 1 year mark. Was back in 2021 or 2022
2020 class. Told to start coming back to the office in 21 and they all transferred to NYC or went elsewhere.
I know folks who were there before Covid and after and it’s evidently night and day different. Pre covid, analysts had no protections or ability to push back but now ASO/VP basically can’t rely on analysts after 7pm bc they know they can cause a big issue if they all dip. That’s not to say that analysts aren’t grinding but evidently it’s not uncommon for an analyst to just ghost the team in the evening/weekend.
How recent have you spoken to anyone who works there? I spoke with that office recently and they were upfront in how late they work and their weekend expectations.. which tracks with this story
Bump for visibility
RIP
Terrible. I hope that the analyst’s friends and family are as alright as they can be given the circumstance. Let’s not normalize “oh, bad things happen in this industry,” but think personally about the pain that each individual tragedy creates. These are human beings.

Bump. Murdering juniors is horrendous and MDs need to be held accountable.

What other white collar job has this many deaths / serious health conditions caused by working conditions? This is insane if true. Even if it’s caused by abuse of XYZ substances, the culture and need for stimulants in some sweaty groups are also part of the problem.
Should also ask the opposite question . . are there jobs with similar working conditions, and low/no stimulant abuse, and are those people dying or not. I don't know, for example, how much medical residents abuse stimmies. If they use less and die less, then it's understandable to blame stimmies.
love how you wicked ppl like to say "oh maybe its stimulants/snow" you are no better than rich handler. every state college frat dude ends up at a life insurance gig where they use wayyy more stuff and you dont see them in the news. its the nose people who run this disgusting industry where potential goes to be buried
Agree with the first half
Did I ask?
Maybe it’s a glitch on the app but how is this not on the front page
Hi, I’m a journalist at Bloomberg - can anyone verify or provide more information/details?
Well he was overworked by the MD, 2 consecutive weeks of 3am while the female Associate took off at 6pm daily. Very hardworking lad just ended up working with a**holes. Hope he recovers soon.
del
This is inaccurate
Can we get this out to Litquidity? This is just unacceptable if true. Saying they used too much stimulants isn't an excuse
Maybe this is why Houston banks keep asking about ties to Texas - if they can't retain people and are looking for some kind of personal affinity to the area, instead of what the bank has to offer, that's a problem
Houston in particular has a very toxic culture to begin with. Anyone with options and no family in the area usually leave quickly.
I was at a firm that no longer has a Houston presence. Use your imagination which one. Ignore the ASO-1. Our culture was solid, just the firm closed up shop there. From what I've heard elsewhere...you're not wrong.
definitely a problem. EVR, JEF, JPM, GS are all "elite" shops in houston but do a quick wso search and you'll find threads on how sweaty/toxic they are
Confirmed did not pass away, but definitely overworked…
Narcan? Fainted in the office?
Now there’s conflicting reports
Heart attack but didn't die. Confirmed via a mid-level friend who works there.
Ah. No story then. Just a good old heart attack at the cubicle.
Are you all capable of regulating yourselves so that you don't die at work? What an embarassment.
b...but muh $200k/year starting salary jerb!
Didn’t evercore fire a bunch of bankers in NY recently too?
