How to deal with shit hours?

Going to the gym, seeing family, going to and going to special events are becoming very difficult to do. Do any of you have advice for me as to how I should be managing my time, or is it unrealistic to have some free time during the first few years of your career?

In reality the hours don’t get much better. I would recommend trying to get top buck your first year then start caring way less your second year. Let your past reputation carry you. That’s what I did and life is a bit better now
