I'd like to apologize to the WSO community

I always wondered, why someone would leave a lucrative job such as IB just because the hours are bad. These people definitely don't know what hard work is. Right? Well, I've been on the desk 4 weeks now and I'd like to say...I understand you. I regret ever playing down the pain others here expressed about the job and the work involved. My sincerest apologies. You guys were right, if anyone has advice on how I can survive these next two years please comment below. That's my goal. Thank you.
