Extremely sweaty, 90-95-hour work weeks are the average, and 100+ hour work weeks are commonplace as well. Heard a few of the analysts leave for some other firm in a year (maybe less now since the market sucks), and none stay longer than 2 years. Some toxic mid-levels, but I haven't heard anything particularly erroneous for the seniors directly. Exits are to MM firms with the possibility of a truly rare, smaller UMM firm. As for hiring, they are always hiring because of the aforementioned lack of retention; a few analysts also just burn out every year, so some leave even if no lateralizing. RBC PU&I and M&A are just horrible places to work culturally and WLB-wise, but you will get some deal experience.

Appreciate the insight! Not surprised seems M&A groups are pretty sweaty across the board
