I work in investment banking. I started right out of college as an Analyst. For the first two to three years I worked 80 - 100 hours per week, every week. I would regularly go home, shower, go to bed, wake up, and go back to the office. I didn't take my first week-long vacation until 16 months into the job. It was pretty brutal.
As I moved up in the organization, my hours kept getting better and better, and now I work 55 - 65 hours per week (obviously there are good weeks and bad weeks). I don't plan to do this forever, but right now the money is too good to walk away.
TL;DR: Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy an M4 (and that makes me very, very happy)
