It seems like this might not be very realistic in the finance industry. It sounds like many people work ridiculous hours on average (60 - 90 a week on average) in the finance industry. Can anyone confirm this? By the way, are the hours for "quants" just as bad in this industry?

Sounds like if I go private sector, consulting may be a better personal fit. I'm under the impression that the hours are extremely unpredictable and sometimes require all nighters. However, I'm also under the impression that the average week is only about 45 - 55 hours.
