Guys with girlfriends in IB - how do you do it?

Male here with gf about to start FT in IB soon - I'm in a diff field (that's still similar pay). People in similar situations - how did your relationship end up working out?

Edit: To clarify - she's the one in IB (I'm in tech).

My girlfriend is in IB at a different bank.  Our schedules are insane but we spend time at each other’s places at night and time on weekends.  We are both busy so it works well to have someone who understands the long work hours
