You don't have to do it of course. Just work someplace else.

I worked at UBS too for a few years. Many IT people got there by 7 AM and worked into the evening. Many weekends too. The other banks I've worked at are comparable.
One thing I wont do any more though is global teams where I have people in Singapore or something. India and Poland are bad enough but they have morning overlap. Singapore means I'm on the phone well into the night all the time.
