Burnout in Finance in general

Hi All,

I was wondering if high stress and burnout are common in finance.  I've seen others tired from working 80-100 hours a week and are exhausted mentally and physically.

If you've experienced this before I'd love to hear about what you went through and where you're at now.

Thanks a ton!
