<p>I'm curious about something. There are surely women in Ibanking, and many of them have families. How in the world do they handle the hours of Ibanking and still be something of a mother/wife?</p>
<p>They probably have husbands that are stay-at-home fathers</p>
<p>They probably have a dysfunctional family life with reversed roles. The woman becomes the breadwinner and the man becomes the pussy.</p>
<p>from the few families (3) that I know with ibanking moms the father is also a banker or former banker now working in another finance related field (PE,VC,Hedge Fund,etc.). The kids typically are raised by their nanny in their nice upper eastside apartment or house in greenwich and then go off to a prestigious boarding school (exeter, deerfield, mps, choate, andover) or NY day school (dalton,horace mann,trinity, etc.), then an ivy, and then become bankers themselves through their parents connects. :)</p>
<p>^Do the parents usually work in the same ibank, is office romance even allowed? how often do the kids even get to see their parents, if its just one parent working in banking thats bad enough but both ..I wonder if they ever get to see their parents.</p>
<p>the families i know the parents work at separate banks, which is weird, because they then can't talk to each other about their work lol. The kids don't really get to see the parents that often...during the year they see them at night when they get home for maybe an couple hour (remember since these bankers are all high up they don't have to do as much grunt work like the analysts and thus have a better schedule still much higher than normal jobs) if they dont go to boarding school and during the summer the kids are usually sent to a summer program in europe, a summer program at a boarding school, etc.</p>
<p>it's nice to learn a thing or two about the elite life style.</p>
<p>.....lol....(and I though my uncle (an ambassador) had an elitist lifestyle)</p>
