I’m currently in my final year of college with a FT BB (GS/JPM/MS) Markets role following an internship conversion this summer gone.
Final year is not half as demanding as I originally thought it was and I find myself with about 20 hours of free time a week.

Don’t go above and beyond. Start decently strong and show you’re competent and hard working, but draw the line by 11pm to midnight on most workdays.

This way you get 8 hr of sleep every night and don’t burn out.
