Investment banking has a dark side nobody talks about. Young analysts, barely out of college at 22, pushing through 72-hour shifts until their hearts literally give out. It happens. People die. Yet where's the outrage? Where are the viral posts? The finance crowd stays oddly silent when it's their own burning out. Makes you wonder about the double standards when criticizing other industries. Traditional finance built its empire on brutal hours and sacrifice, but somehow that narrative never makes the rounds the same way.

Yeah, this is Wall Street's double standard—when their own people die or survive, no one makes a sound.

Once again, I got liquidated, but this time it's not a margin call—it's a heart liquidation. 72 hours without sleep? The liquidation price I see on the exchange isn't this harsh.

The investment banking industry's sweatshop system is truly incredible; even dead people can be casually accepted as part of the industry's culture.

Really? That investment bank mentality is just like that. Even after people die, they still pretend not to see.

Can staying awake for 72 hours really cause death? Why does the financial industry collectively pretend not to hear about this?

Really, the people in the financial circle are absolutely double-standard. They won't even speak up about overworking themselves to death.

Really? Staying alive for 72 hours without sleep already counts as winning, let alone pretending nothing happened.
