Is your second-year really easier than your first year in banking, especially if people trust you more and give you more intense assignments? I can see there being less pressure to perform if you've already secured a job next year and you getting out earlier simply because you're more efficient with Excel and PowerPoint, but in terms of pure workload do you think it gets easier?

You don't get less work but you can complete tasks in half the time a first year can. The most menial tasks/abuse also go to the new first years so life is better. Overall it still sucks and you have been worn down from being there for a year already.
i definitely had a different experience - in my group second years definitely has less work AND were faster at it. they put in no facetime and would typically be out the door by 7-8pm, but more like 5-6pm from about february 2nd year onward
