80 Hours is honestly cute, not even that long or serious.
As a person in the Korean Military Underwater Demolition Team (UDT), honestly, it's fucking cute whenever people complain in WSO that they work 80+ hours a week and have to deal with a hierarchy. I had to deal with five days of non-sleep training in the summer, aka "Hell Week". Not a joke, I hallucinated that our squad leader was Putin. On top of that, we dealt with four days without any food whatsoever on a fucking island, and unsurprisingly, this is all part of the UDT curriculum. Believe me or not, people ate insects and tried to hunt bunnies to eat. I had my instructor wake us up at 3 am yelling "Get your motherfucking asses out of your beds" in the morning to go swimming in the ocean during December when it was 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and whoever didn't pass had to eat their dinner while sitting on a pull-up machine with their swimming goggles filled up with salt water. I couldn't even see my food and was drooling while eating. As someone who worked almost 80+ hours a week in an LMM PE before enlisting, those days were the breeze. So stop complaining about your analyst stint for two years. I have to deal with this shit for 20 months while getting paid like 600 bucks a month because I'm a fucking Korean. If anyone can't believe me or think this is joke, search it up on Youtube. Korea UDT SEAL.
You got soft hands brother
And yet you take to finance forum to complain?
You couldn’t beat Kim Jong Un in an arm wrestling match
As a fellow Korean that also served in special operations community - would suggest taking this post down as it is giving a bad rep for overall ROK forces.
Everybody has different pain thresholds and grit in them - if the long hours are not for them, they will leave. No need to be condescending or have lack of empathy on this one. Cheers.
Lmao you'll rarely find posts like "as a fellow European" or "as a fellow American" but you'll commonly find these. Makes you wonder
what are you trying to say?
This is a troll post - look at his post history it says he'll leave military June/July 2025, so he should be enlisting late 2024. I would know because I'm Korean and served in the military. And as a fellow Korean who also served in the military, this guy does not represent us but it's still a funny post lmao
OP went anon. Wonder why
Psa: if you join the Korean military, you’re going to have a bad time mmkay
you think that’s bad? how about you defect to the north and start the real grind, soft hands.
I would think you’re tough, but then I remembered men out there wear makeup and do synchronized dancing…
Try fending off a tummy ache after too many Busch latte’s. That’ll teach you, soft hands

What's your comp?
Just because your life sucks right now doesn’t mean working 80 hours a week is great… even those who tolerate it well would rather be doing something else than working all the time
This guy really watched the Korean show physical 100 on Netflix then posted this. 4/10 troll post.
That sucks. Anyways, what's everyone up to for Memorial Day long weekend?
Hell week
Hahah op so tryhard it’s cringe
Shame
It's wild to me that gen z has somehow made it cool to be a pussy. Marketing case study tbh
The hardo "look how tough I am" comparison is endless. A close family friend has a kid with bone marrow cancer. You think they wouldn't swap with you in a heartbeat? There's no 20 month horizon, this kid is just going to be in excruciating pain until death. Should they throw you MS because your stint is only 20 months and you should suck it up?
It's important to aspire to being tough and resilient, and help others on the same path. The world can be brutal, and just like people quitting an internship after a day need a reality check, if you need to vent on a forum how tough you are, you're playing the same game.
Xxx
Because it's different types of stress. In your military there was zero actual work requiring your brain to function, all you had to do is follow orders and do physical tasks - yes this is physically difficult but strong discipline is enough to do any of this. In banking you have to firstly use your brain to work and secondly ensure the work is to a good enough standard to not get you fired (especially relevant in this economy). This adds far more stress to your day than simply having to get out of bed early in the morning.
