What was social life like as a FT BB IB analyst pre-covid?

What was social life like as a FT analyst pre-covid? Do you get to meet everyone in your class? What were weekends like? Did you have good camaraderie within your group? And did your life change drastically...for the better? Curious what life outside of work was like for y’all

It was shitty in a twisted good way. Kind of like where you're on a raft in the middle of the ocean and after 2 days you and your buddies stare at each other and just start laughing.

^ that kind of feeling during the weekday if you were in office late at night
