I sorta agree.
I don't think there's anything inherently awful about 100+ hour work weeks (in that I would never want to do them, but people know what they're getting into when they join a BAML internship), but anecdotally the culture of working long hours at an IB is much more destructive than, say, working long hours at a hospital -- there's a much more pervasive drug life, and the long hours are borne much more out of showmanship and capriciousness than actual necessity.
It's a pretty shitty industry that attract specific personalities, but it's not going to go away anytime soon -- mainly because of the massive amounts of money.
