When I was a junior analyst at a finance firm a group told our boss that the 100+ hour weeks were too much to physically handle our boss called a doctor into the office to write everyone Adderall prescriptions.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what country did that take place in if you don't mind me asking.

U.S... The wall street thing tends to be fairly nuts in junior positions.

From the moment I asked I kept thinking "please don't be the US. Please don't be the US."

I'm not surprised though.

I hope whatever job you have now is much better than that hell.

Definitely better, though that's a low bar to clear! Ha. Still work like 60 hour weeks, and have to travel a lot. But I enjoy the work itself and they make it worth my while, so can't complain too much.
