Answer 1

I am assuming that you mean 60-80 hours per week....
Either way, if you are aprehensive about a position that requires so much of your time, you will likely not be successful at it. Working as an analyst at a firm like that (I work for a competing firm), is a major commitment. It is not just a job, but a career that you have to dedicate your life to. No more partying after work and having long weekends, and they will not tolerate you not getting your work done, don't expect to be there long without excellent work ethic.
That being said, it is also very rewarding to work at a company like that. You will build your own network (of potential future employment) and can find great satisfaction in your work. You can also make very good money if you are good at it.

Answer 2

wow, 60 - 80 hrs per day! that's hardcore when you can get 60 - 80 hours out of a 24 hour period. don't join!
