It's an Investment Banking firm. Ask anyone of high repute in the business(Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Salomon Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley, etc), about their hours as an entry level associate, 7a-7p is considered a pleasure cruise.
Investment Banking is for bold, driven, take charge individuals, not wusses. If you're looking to engage an IB firm to do half-assed work, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a 30-hour work week, Starbucks might be more to your liking.

I receive calls from that number probably once a week and the guy "insists" that he has talked to my boss (President) before and I know he hasn't.  He also says, "I'll call him on his cell then."  Yeah right.  I just got a call from him and he pulled the same tricks but to no avail.  He left his # and I just called and spoke to someone named Kim and passed the message on to her to remove our phone # from their call list!  The guy that calls me all the time is "supposedly" Nick Passick" and always says it's in regards to a personal business matter.  I hope they'll stop calling now, and if they don't, I'll get in touch w/our local PUC.
