> mostly a lie for folks experienced enough to have families

Surviving to that level is HARD. Most Junior Analysts in the IB and Consulting World flame out and exit the industry within 2-3 years.



Aye - it’s similar across most high end tech work. At the same time, most people in those positions have 5+ years of experience. Most studies show that such people maintain a lie about how much they are working.

It isn't. New Grad SWEs work at most 50 hours a week and VPs tend to work around 50-60 hours a week tops.

IB and Consulting have notoriously horrid work cultures because there are few roles but plenty of demand.
