How to Survive an 80-Hour Work Week

For first-year Goldman Sachs analysts, an 80-hour work week would be considered a dream. Instead, apparently, their average work week is 95 hours or more, according to an internal survey — formatted as a slide deck — that went viral.

The survey of 13 first-year analysts showed that they slept an average of five hours a night. They rated their physical and mental health at below 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Their personal life got a rock-bottom 1 on the scale. On the bright side, only 17% said they frequently experienced shouting or swearing.
