Hi Guys,
Brief background about me: I am 23 years old and from India. Have almost 2 years of work ex. Have done my bachelors in economics from a tier 1 institute. I was at KPMG mid market IB for 1 year. It was a front end role. But I did not get any transaction exposure there and the compensation was not great at all. Which were my motivating factors behind quitting.
Typically my work hours were 8 hours daily on an average. I was mainly helping the team with building teasers and IMs and preparing buyer lists and doing a lot of BD work. I was involved in one transaction towards the latter end of my time there but even in that I wasn’t a part of management meetings and the likes. There was no exposure to modelling work.

In the last 7 months I’ve barely worked and I typically averaged on 1 hour of work daily. I’m moving back to an IB, a very big IB with a decent pay. But I’m scared that now I’ll be working 14 hours a day and I don’t feel like I am ready for it. If I think about my KPMG days I get stressed thinking about the occasional long days I had and the stress that came from the shit work culture.
I know for a fact that I don’t want to do IB in the long term but I need advice on how I approach this next step. How do I handle the 80-90 hour work weeks and the shit culture.
I’m just scared of the fact that
