starting at IB in London with a family

Going to a top euro MBA program. come from a non traditional military background

1) do London banks really recruit mba students who don’t have related prior experience?

2) is the workload and balance better than NYC so I’d actually be able to spend time with family on weekends and occasionally weekday evenings?
