Leo Lukenas Death - Nothing Has Changed

https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/bank-america-…

Latest from the WSJ about how certain banks are instituting 80 hour a week caps for bankers, with the caveat that there are no limits when on a live deal. LOL. This means absolutely nothing. Definitional virtue signaling.

For all the junior guys out there - your bank does not give a shit about you. Do your two years, don’t try too hard, and GTFO while you can. Giving yourself irreparable health damage to impress a bunch of glorified salesmonkey MBA seniors is extremely dumb.

My friend said 50% less pay inflation-adjusted from a decade or so ago

I didn't really check the numbers but at the current pay scale for me to do this job for a long ass time, the numbers are just way too low

 

For what it's worth, I know MULTIPLE places that had SA's capped at ~60hrs but the interns actually worked ~80 and only reported 60.
This industry is really shit when it comes to that.
