IB Hours/Work Life Balance Relative to other Industries

I have been thinking about this a bit more, and I have seen a few one off posts related to the matter. But compared to say, a doctor in residency or fellowship (around same age as junior bankers) are the IB hours and lifestyle really all that different? Can anyone else think of comparable junior level positions?
