Investment banking interns have turned up dead from exhaustion. So some of them probably do work a lot. I can see it more so than engineering because deals are so time sensitive, you really can't slack off if there's a deal on. But agreed, most are probably full of shit :)

I agree with you. Interns and analysts run the banks. They really are made to slog it out. It's the VPs, Ds and MDs that claim to work a lot, but many don't actually (thanks to the interns).
