IBankers, how do you guys do it?

How do you work those ungodly hours and pretend that they don't bother you?
How do you keep a smile on your face in front of your MDs or do you just not smile?
Isn't it difficult to contain the stress and lack of sleep from showing?

Is it normal to dread Sunday nights?

 

Who said they don't bother people?

People are clearly bothered by the hours, that's why they ask if you can put up with in in the interview process. You don't have to work 80 hours a week for the rest of your life. Just 80 - 120 for the next 2-8 years. Then you have lots of money and relatively (read:still more than 40) easy weeks.
