I recently read a short article in The New Yorker titled “The Cult of Overwork.” In it, James Surowiecki writes:
“For decades, junior bankers and Wall Street firms had an unspoken pact: in exchange for reasonably high-paying jobs and a shot at obscene wealth, young analysts agreed to work fifteen hours a day, and forgo anything resembling a normal life.”
