Investment banking is ruining my life

Hi everyone, bit of a rant but I am an AN3 and I am so over IB. I want out! 

This is a terrible time in the market but I need options on exits with better WLB and less stress.


I am constantly tired, fatigued and sick because of the stress of this job. I am deeply unhappy and I want out.


Has anyone successfully exited to a better job with less stress but still have opportunity for growth?

Please let me know
