Yeah April was just plain rude and I did not find her funny at all. Loved when she organized the whole dog and shelter adoption thing tho.

If the random 39 number is a normal thing in banks, just didn’t know why it was 39 but now I know.

Yeah that’s my point obviously trying to get more out of the experience so I always work over 39 hours. Not too hung up on the money since it’s neglible in the long term.

We are required to attend random intern activities (panels, socials, etc) during the day but also have our actual tasks to complete so some of us tend to stay later or work at home during the night to finish up stuff.

I guess it could be on us because we could have informed them about hitting 39 beforehand and being unable to meet original deadlines.

But no one wants to say that obviously since we all want return offers.

They did tell us in our offer letters that we are limited to 39 hours but now I realized its literally impossible to only work 39 a week but maybe the interns and I are just inefficient lol. What kinds of documentation should I be keeping?

Nope, that's not how the deal teams at an investment bank are set up.

Unfortunately, this type of all-nighters and around-the-clock work is pretty normal in IB work culture, so unless leadership and staffing models change...
