What is your typical day as an M&A analyst?

I recently received an offer at a higher MM or lower BB (ie: Jefferies, UBS, DB, RBC). I am looking for some insight as I am deciding which group to be placed into. M&A is one of the groups I am looking into but I have heard bad things about the hours. I just wanted some honest insight on how sweaty it gets and what the experience is like.
