Some crazy sh*t I did to survive working 120+ hour weeks in investment banking. I wish these weren’t true, but the IB analysts days were so rough! 1. Took my work phone with me into the shower — answering urgent emails non-stop, even at 4am. 2. 3am ice-cold showers for pure shock therapy to jolt myself awake. 3. Blasted true crime podcasts to scare the sleep away; fear was my caffeine. 4. Snuck 20-min naps on my desk, under my desk, in bathroom stalls while waiting for comments. 5. Slept in my work clothes — no time for pajamas and needed any extra sleep. 6. Ate purely Uber Eats/DoorDash for every meal — if I even had time to eat. 7. Set 20+ alarms because when you crash, you'll sleep through literally everything!
