Engineering firms are more likely to have 9-80 (80 hours over 9 days, every other Fridays off) or 8-80 (every Fridays off) work weeks than financial firms since much of the production schedules can be planned in advance.
On the other hand, financial firms typically give you more vacation time (3-4 weeks plus all the Federal holidays, plus 1-2 personal days), plus the ability to telecommute from time to time.
I don't have any deep insight; I just though the divergence in work-life balance management strategies between industries is kind of interesting.

Mid-level managers often make very little more, if not the same as high level engineers.
It gets progressively harder to keep up with new technology because you don’t work directly with it.
Meetings, politics and dealing with unrealistic requests will pretty much become your life.
You may try to avoid it, but management-speak will creep into your vocabulary (did you notice my “paradigm” comment earlier?)
Even when it isn’t your fault, it’s your fault.
Even when you make it succeed, your team should get the credit.
Being the wunderkind as a technologist is much easier to do in technology than management, you’ll have to check your ego at the door.
You will be forced to make decisions that affect people’s personal life (pay, bonus, firing, etc.) and this is hard to stomach sometimes.
It is very empowering, enjoyable to be able to set the agenda and sometimes say, “No. We ain’t doing that shit.”
Computers are predictable, people are complicated. You will eventually fantasize about robot employees.
Mentoring can be very rewarding, but also very challenging.
