An incoming BB SA and will be in likely a sweaty group. Reading about the BofA assoc was a wake up call. What would be the course of action if I feel that I’m being pushed way past my limit?

Have to balls to look away and move on. If you work 100 hours a week for 10 weeks, and think this isn’t for you, do you have the balls to say no to the return offer? When you are working 100 hours every week once you are a FT analyst, do you have the balls to accept the fact that this shit ain’t for you and then move to something more relaxed.
You’ll have a lot of people tell you, “Is this what you worked so hard for and networked with so many analysts for” but the fact is if you die after overworking, no one on WSO would give two shits and your bank would have your replacement in about 2 weeks time.
Don’t complain at all during your internship and don’t push back. I doubt interns will be doing above 100 hours a week (or even 80 hours a week depending on bank) during the internship, at the end of the day, they are trying to make themselves look good so you join the firm.
But, realistically see what kind of hours people are putting in and if it looks like people are pulling continuous 3 am nights or being pushed past their limit or doing insane hours, take your return offer, leverage it, find something else.
I ignored the red flags and regret it now.
