I see some of you so frequently posting this forum, when do you actually work?

Basically the title. When do you actually work? I mean some of you guys are in PE, HF and IB and should be VERY busy but at the same time, I see some usernames posting here so frequently who work in these functions and they have been at it for YEARS! How do you do it?

 

All the time.

Counting emails, I literally work, off and on, from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed M-F.

Posting something on this site is just another message to fire off.

You have no idea how frustrating "waiting on data" from index partners is.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

I did a sophomore summer at a boutique where I barely had anything to do all day so I was on this website a lot and was making a decent amount of posts and comments. Now I'm back at school so it's less so, but I'm still after that King Kong status.

Because no one is busy "all the time".

Think about your average day. How often are you performing at less than 100% efficiency? Maybe you read the paper in the morning. Maybe you check ESPN once or twice a day. The idea that anyone is doing nothing but work from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave is laughable
