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

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