First they send you a 1:1 message. If you're not responding fast enough (3-5 mins max?), they leave a message in group chat. Then your VP/associate starts blowing up your phone. I was grilled and yelled at so hard for not being responsive (not replying within 10 mins) on Thanksgiving and X-mas....

Yup. Sounds about right

At one of the well known smaller platforms and this blows my mind. Like, yes - you can see on our messenger whether you're on or not but most analysts keep it off. I could see during very specific periods needing to be responsive within 10-15 minutes (last 2 days of a bake-off, LOI day on a sell side, day ahead of BoD meeting for live deal/priority client, etc), but that's not EVERY DAY. It works out pretty well cuz our staffer tries really hard to make sure we're not overwhelmed. 

My opinion is that some staffers on the street are trash and are not actually staffing people well, instead just chucking shit over the wall to whoever appears like they have capacity/complains the least. Not sure how it works at BBs (other than that GS calls it the BUM lol) but that's been my experience.
