I find this topic very interesting. Much of my own family are bankers and hedge fund managers so I see personally how much they work...
However, the current standard for new recruits in these types of careers literally have new grads working 75-90+ hours a week. Family members have worked 3 days straight before and went to the hospital due to collapse from fatigue. Also sometimes you can't make it to your SO's birthdays, or a kids' ball game. But not all the time if you can manage your time well.
The pay on the other hand is good, it's great, it's amazing even. Depends on what you do, yearly bonuses are $1-10 million. You can live anyway you want, private jets, best restaurants every night, expensive wine, travel every weekend, buy anything you want, provide everything your family could possibly ever need. Plus, you can help others in need, donations, starting foundations for research for illnesses, etc.
I'm just curious, how many of you guys would trade so much of your time for wealth, financial stability for you and your family?
