Superman........


Cincinnati Enquirer; "Miami grad snares plum job".


"A finance major at Miami, Budig was introduced to Wall Street during a New York trip organized by the college in early 2008. He interned at Goldman Sachs last summer and was offered a job. He said work weeks of 80 to 100 hours were common and said the intensity level is "elevated.""


I do not mean to hate, but lets see 90 hours divided by 7 days = 12.86 hours of work everyday, including Saturday and Sunday. So adding a measly half hour lunch this puts him at his desk and working from 7:00am to 8:30 pm everyday including Saturday and Sunday, and this is not one of his 100 hour weeks!


I am sorry but your rate of productivity drops so much after 50 hours of work in one week, that the next 40 hours getting you to a total of 90 would produce literally next to nothing in terms of positive productivity for your company and in essence lose them money...........(See graph above).
