Junior Investment Bankers Hours

Hello! This is Diana Li from Bloomberg News. We are doing a fun story about junior bankers' lives and would love to hear your voice!

Specifically, we would love to know if hours are much better this summer now that deals are slowing down, and if you are having any concerns about this. 

If you are interested, please text me at 9295449233

Thank you!

Since most of the people on here did not work in banking in 2021...

FWIW, these types of stories and the reporting on how bad banking was during Covid is what led to salary bumps, retention bonuses, meal increases etc. Seniors aren't reading WSO, if you have concerns this isn't a bad place to put them

Not endorsing talking to reporters, but just a thought with the troll comments and MS
