week 1 is just training bruh
They have practice deliverables, up very late at night to finish
ohhhh, my prayer goes to this kid
This sounds like like a general health issue more so than something to do with the job. Issues set in at like… week 3 of 3-4 hours of sleep a night
Don’t know why the MS
You’re right It was only 11pm day threePeople stay up all night during finals to study all the time and are completely fine and I guarantee they didn’t stay up all night day 3 of training
Prayers to this kid hopefully they are okay but hard to imagine it is not a preexisting condition
Dont throw MS at @asdf1248 , they are sharing their perspective which very well may be the case.
You can have a single night of bad sleep, be very stressed, and have a seizure. I have seen people who were otherwise fine their entire lives get diagnosed with epilepsy in their early to mid 20s. High stress, lack of sleep, and dehydration can often be enough sadly. Even if you are an extremely healthy person, sometimes symptoms do not display themselves until later in life
Maybe the intern was overworked from day one, but what makes a lot more sense for a week 1 seizure is that he or she was highly stressed, sleeping poorly, and had a pre-existing condition. Usually seizures related directly to being overworked take more than a couple of late nights. Now if the intern was not sleeping at all due to stress or other reasons, it could be possible. Back to the main point - it is easy to speculate at this time and it is hard to rule out anything yet.
No one wants to hear that interns are being overworked, especially to the point of developing health issues. This has happened at many banks and is an extremely valid concern. But it is also possible that the intern had pre-existing health conditions.
yep, it's definitely stress. it's probably one of their first jobs, and it's obviously very important for them, so they're stressing about making a great impression. and even if you're done with work at 11pm, you come home and your adrenaline is probably still pumping, you need like a couple of hours to unwind so you can fall asleep. then next day you're at the office at 9 or before that, and you need to prepare, take shower, grab breakfast, dress up, commute, etc., so they're functioning on 4 hours of sleep and are stressing about making a good impression. you can definitely faint / get a seizure even after 3 days of this, especially if your body is not used to this.
Lol dude how many other industries do you hear about people having seizures on their third day of work at 11 pm while still at the office. It's not a "general health issue"
Everyone at the knicks bars while EVR kids are grinding on day 3 of training 🥀
He/she might just be epileptic and forgot to take their meds on time.
do not even consider banking if you have any chronic medical issues
but those kids don't want to listen...
i have allergies in the spring and i’ve been fine. don’t listen to this guy
not talking about an allergy you fucking dumbass lmao
U sit at a desk all day stfu lmao
ah yes, sitting at a desk makes u immune to chronic stress and cardiovascular issues
amazing take you fucking orangutan
Then make the industry not be so brutal, what you are saying is just putting a band aid on a stab wound
Every X% of hours reduced means we could lay off the same X% of the workforce and shift the workload to the remaining employees keeping their working hours the same. It is a bad business strategy reducing the hours of juniors/means you have an inefficiency (you should know this if you want to do M&A and "advise big corporations on their most strategic and important matters", dear Prospect...)
Still, this guy fell in the 3rd day of internship, so it's just individual-related and hence my message instead of actual hours.
👎
FWIW my 2 cents is it’s unprofessional / shows a lack of judgement to post specific peoples names on an online forum, unless they are a public figure.
Mods delete for kid’s privacy
delete this dude come on
Mods plz delete this comment for privacy
Wrong guy
People survive off of as little as 3-4 hours of sleep for weeks with no health issues. Not saying it that’s ok, it’s not, but clearly seems like there were some underlying health issues here. It was day 3…
if you're used to this routine and you're not stressing, then it's one thing.
if you're not used to this and are putting your body through this suddenly and stress about the job (it's obviously important for them to make a great first impression, so I could understand self-imposed stress/pressure), then it's different.
There’s a reason why Evercore in banking and ISI in ER pay what they pay and why many still leave… people need to consider the trade offs between insane money and good money/having a life and health
imagine thinking IB or ER is insane pay…. its dogshit pay for braindead work lmao
.
its just a job bro
They haven't hit the desk yet. Speaking from experience 2 yrs ago training is not that hard. If this is true it's preexisting med condition for sure.Very unfortunate.
Evercore does work juniors and interns hard but not in training.
.
Week 1 is just training… homework is not that difficult
idk how this kid is going to survive college lol
All this work and you’ll get no Bugatti. Wagies in a cage.
Running a camgirl scheme isn’t much of a better alternative mate
He made 9-10 figures. It’s much better and he had time to enjoy his money unlike buddy here. Again most people who do high finance end up working for someone and never enjoying their money. even startup founders are wage slaves as well.
Horrible take man. Please Get some help my guy.
I sincerely hope the kid is okay and he gets the medical help he needs…
With that being said, this generation of kids is so fcked based on these responses… People have kids and get limited sleep, people study for finals and get limited sleep, people are just unhealthy and don’t sleep enough… it’s day 3 of an internship where you are treated like you have bubble wrap on you to begin with and are largely useless (especially in the first week). If this was related to underlying health problems, I hope he disclosed it and is properly accommodated… if it’s due to “stress management” this career path isn’t for him… which is ok, that’s what internships are for.
It was prolly a health issue unc, has no reflection on “kids these day” lmao
You’re pathetic
With all due respect and hope he gets better, was he overweight ?
bro what
Regardless of the situation here, EVR is one big sweatshop nowadays (not far off from MOE) - very different shop than ~10 years ago culturally
One of my best friends' has a seizure disorder and had to leave a high stress career path because of it. I hope this intern recovers well and possibly reevaluate their next steps career wise.
Lifes too short to be a EVR intern.
Skill issue
Think they make him come back after the hospital visit or is he done for the summer?
Too much financial edge damn
bruh this is so embarrassing, why are you exposing them like this
