Maintaining some sort of balance in Banking

Incoming hitting the desk in a month or so and having some major second thoughts as to what I have signed up for. As an analyst, are you essentially writing your entire life away or is there still some semblance of balance? For example, yeah maybe your week is blown up, but you still have time to utilize your weekends + an early night here and there during the week.
