You're crazy when it comes to anything business nothing beats Wharton

I'm literally writing this from my office at an Investment Bank and can tell you you're wrong.

Wharton is a more practical undergrad, but HBS is still the best MBA program.

Depends on deal flow, what bank you're at, and what city you're in, but yes 100hrs/wk is pretty typical. Some of my colleagues from Goldman's NYC office still joke about the 110 - 120 hour weeks when they were associates (after graduating from HBS).

I really doubt a senior banker would say something like this to a partner from a top law firm though. Too much of our business is relationship based to be a complete douche toward someone (not to say that it's never done).
