It's so random that it's really hard to generalize. It can even vary by team within the same firm, e.g. the healthcare associate has a cushy 50 hour/week job while the guy two cubes over doing industrials regularly works 90+. Only thing I can say is you're more likely to have a better lifestyle at a lower MM firm in a non-NYC city but it's just impossible to predict.
Thanks for the response. Is there any way to get a feel for it beforehand? Talking to former associates perhaps?
