I've never worked in Pakistan so can't comment on it from that perspective. In London, if you work within the IBD (Corporate Finance dept.) at a graduate level you may be working an average of 70+ hours a week. For front office people in market, hours could be slightly better but expect around +/-60 per week.
I have worked in the IBD of a bulge bracket US Investment Bank in London. Now I work in investment consulting side - much more fun on the buy-side - but I have numerous friends in Ibanking and do interact with senior bankers as part of my job.
