The 35-year-old Bank of America (BAC.N) investment banker who died from a blood clot earlier this month wanted to leave the U.S. bank because he was working more than 100 hours a week, according to an executive recruiter who spoke with him about seeking a new job.

    It is disappointing to me that these hours are legal, but this guy was an analyst at a major financial institution.

    Mandatory overtime wouldn’t surprise me at all, it is fairly common and something I am subjected to as well. But I can almost guarantee nobody else forced him into 100 hour weeks.
