Entry level workers at Goldman Sachs in Manhattan have the 8 hour rule.

You can do anything you want for 8 hours a day, Goldman expects you in the office for the other 16. Grounds for termination if you miss more than an hour a week for 3 weeks of your first 14 weeks. Few actually get their 8 hours away anyway.

Move up the ladder and the hours start to actually get intense.

Sounds like a tough job...I'd rather work at Wal-Mart....

I can only imagine.

However, having just gone through many interviews myself, I would certainly say that their interview tips is spot on. I did pretty good for myself, but I wish I would have read these before I started!

This is not out of the ordinary for most people who have started businesses.

I don't eant to hear about how much time they spend at work. anyone, even entry level people now, who work in IT - are tied to pagers and cellphones for their jobs, 24x7.
