week 1 is just training bruh
They have practice deliverables, up very late at night to finish
ohhhh, my prayer goes to this kid
This sounds like like a general health issue more so than something to do with the job. Issues set in at like… week 3 of 3-4 hours of sleep a night
Don’t know why the MS
You’re right It was only 11pm day threePeople stay up all night during finals to study all the time and are completely fine and I guarantee they didn’t stay up all night day 3 of training
Prayers to this kid hopefully they are okay but hard to imagine it is not a preexisting condition
Dont throw MS at @asdf1248 , they are sharing their perspective which very well may be the case.
You can have a single night of bad sleep, be very stressed, and have a seizure. I have seen people who were otherwise fine their entire lives get diagnosed with epilepsy in their early to mid 20s. High stress, lack of sleep, and dehydration can often be enough sadly. Even if you are an extremely healthy person, sometimes symptoms do not display themselves until later in life. People with neurological conditions can develop them at varying stages of life, sadly.
Maybe the intern was overworked from day one, but what makes a lot more sense for a week 1 seizure is that he or she was highly stressed, sleeping poorly, and had a pre-existing condition. My conclusion is based heavily on the fact that it was week 1, and usually seizures related directly to being overworked take more than a couple of late nights. Now if the intern was not sleeping at all due to stress or other reasons, it could be possible. Back to the main point - it is easy to speculate at this time and it is hard to rule out anything yet.
No one wants to hear that interns are being overworked, especially to the point of developing health issues. This has happened at many banks and is an extremely valid concern. But it is also possible that the intern had pre-existing health conditions.
yep, it's definitely stress. it's probably one of their first jobs, and it's obviously very important for them, so they're stressing about making a great impression. and even if you're done with work at 11pm, you come home and your adrenaline is probably still pumping, you need like a couple of hours to unwind so you can fall asleep. then next day you're at the office at 9 or before that, and you need to prepare, take shower, grab breakfast, dress up, commute, etc., so they're functioning on 4 hours of sleep and are stressing about making a good impression. you can definitely faint / get a seizure even after 3 days of this, especially if your body is not used to this.
Everyone at the knicks bars while EVR kids are grinding on day 3 of training 🥀
He/she might just be epileptic and forgot to take their meds on time.
do not even consider banking if you have any chronic medical issues
but those kids don't want to listen...
i have allergies in the spring and i’ve been fine. don’t listen to this guy
not talking about an allergy you fucking dumbass lmao
U sit at a desk all day stfu lmao
ah yes, sitting at a desk makes u immune to chronic stress and cardiovascular issues
amazing take you fucking orangutan
👎
FWIW my 2 cents is it’s unprofessional / shows a lack of judgement to post specific peoples names on an online forum, unless they are a public figure.
Mods delete for kid’s privacy
delete this dude come on
Mods plz delete this comment for privacy
Wrong guy
People survive off of as little as 3-4 hours of sleep for weeks with no health issues. Not saying it that’s ok, it’s not, but clearly seems like there were some underlying health issues here. It was day 3…
if you're used to this routine and you're not stressing, then it's one thing.
if you're not used to this and are putting your body through this suddenly and stress about the job (it's obviously important for them to make a great first impression, so I could understand self-imposed stress/pressure), then it's different.
There’s a reason why Evercore in banking and ISI in ER pay what they pay and why many still leave… people need to consider the trade offs between insane money and good money/having a life and health
imagine thinking IB or ER is insane pay…. its dogshit pay for braindead work lmao
its just a job bro
They haven't hit the desk yet. Speaking from experience 2 yrs ago training is not that hard. If this is true it's preexisting med condition for sure.Very unfortunate.
Evercore does work juniors and interns hard but not in training.
.
Week 1 is just training… homework is not that difficult
idk how this kid is going to survive college lol
All this work and you’ll get no Bugatti. Wagies in a cage.
Running a camgirl scheme isn’t much of a better alternative mate
