Working on Wall Street with Epilepsy
Developed epilepsy as a young adult and control it with medication and 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Absolutely no alcohol, no tobacco/nicotine, no recreational drugs, no driving, and I exercise 2-4 times a week. The times I've had seizures, neurologists concluded they were due to lack of sleep and/or something incredibly stressful going on in my life.
IB doesn't have lives at stake on a battlefield, an operating room, or in a burning building. but I guess what I'm trying to gauge is this - just how intense, difficult, stressful, and mentally taxing is it to work on tasks and projects? Is it an actual challenge, or is it just the volume? I've already interned at a PE firm and at a single family office, both of which included M&A and CorpDev campaigns to grow holdings companies with acquisitions, and I was directly involved.
If I'm trying to climb the ladder past the analyst and associate years, is a long-term career in investment banking realistic, or should I pursue other paths?
Thank you for your time.
