Lifestyle at EB's

Interested in hearing about the lifestyle at places like PJT, LAZ, EVR, HL, GHL, PWP, CVP, GUG, Rothschild, etc. specifically in NYC. If someone could provide input on the following that would be sweet:

  1. Is there a noticeable change in lifestyle (hours, free time some weeknights) once being promoted to associate? Which banks tend to have the most vertical mobility?

  2. How much weekend work on average is expected as an analyst/associate?

  3. Do analysts/associates find time to stay in shape ie. go to the gym, work-out? Do most juniors go early morning or late afternoon during a lull period?

Thanks.
