There are vanishingly few bank jobs and so the hazing process to get them is brutal. The banks push their associates to work 80hr/wk because they can. Technologists, for instance, don't work these hours (something closer to 60hr/wk in my experience).
The 996 phenomenon seems to be more common. It's as if every job put you through the ringer.
Programmers have it much easier to switch jobs due to scarcity and high demand - this also applies to China.
