Finance Careers with 60-70 hours per week

Hi All,

I am looking for finance careers that on average works anywhere from 60-70 hours per week. I would like to look for a job that, I can work hard and be compensated well at (hopefully making more than 200k at some point in the future) but still have time to have a life. I really enjoy analysis and investment related topics but am open to other options as well.

I am in the NYC area and I have previously worked in the operations department of a financial advisory firm and received my series 7 and 66 licenses. Currently, I am working as an accountant at a private company, but I am bored with the work and the downtimes throughout the month.

Any career advice will be greatly appreciated. Also considering my background is not in finance would you have any tips on how I can break into the industry?
