That’s according to Howard Lutnick, the chief executive officer of Cantor Fitzgerald. “These are hard jobs,” Lutnick told Bloomberg on 8 July. “Young bankers who decide they’re working too hard — choose another living is my view.” Late nights and weekends should be expected given the demands clients place on bankers to get deals completed to tight deadlines, Lutnick said, comparing banking to medicine in terms of the work needed at an early stage to become successful.
