how bad will the hours be for FIG bankers in the next couple of years? i hear people discussing their hours in other industry groups, but it seems that they often say "hours aren't as bad as FIG banking hours" often without being prompted.
will hours be even worse at a top-tier (JPM, GS, MS) in comparison to a lower-tiered banks?

It's banking. When you work as many hours as they do, the difference between 100 and 110 isn't that much. Also, you have already committed yourself to banking and working 100 hour weeks; will working a few more hours in FIG or any other group change your decision? If the difference in hours will make or break your decision on which group to join then you really are not cut out for banking (more hours means more deal flow>>>>more prestigious group and more experience).
M&A and LevFin usually have the most hours, but that does not mean that FIG or some other group at an individual bank could not work the same amount. Obviously, the better groups at each bank have worse hours.
