Is Investment Banking the Right Path for Me?

I wrote this a couple weeks ago and only got 1 useful answers, so i'll try again:

I am currently in my final year of university in Chile and I have always had a strong interest in finance. After some consideration, it all pointed towards investment banking, as it offers great learning and growth opportunities. However, I have some concerns about whether it is the right choice for me.

I think I have a profile that fits IB. I studied in the best business school in Chile reaching the top 2% of my class. I believe that Im capable of getting a first-year job in a top-tier investment bank (in Chile), such as JP Morgan, BofA, or Goldman Sachs, or one of the large Chilean or Latin American investment banks. I did an internship in one of the largest asset managers in Latin America, which I know may not be viewed as highly as an investment banking internship in the US. However, I have been told by an associate at JPM that in Chile, the asset manager where I did my internship is highly valued and it shouldn't affect me negatively, but positively, when looking for a job. I've also thought about IB more as a stepping stone and dont see me there after an mba, i would prefer to exit and move to other areas.

From what I've read, heard, and learnt what most interests me is private equity, but I understand that it is generally necessary to start in IB before transitioning to PE. Also, there is a problem that private equity is not widely developed in Chile and Latin America.

My main concern is whether investment banking is the right path for me. I am not sure if I want to lose my 20s working so much and stressing out. I am concerned about the long hours and the impact they may have on my personal life, including relationships, family, friends, sports, and leisure, and I worry this may burn me out. I speak with my friends, who aren't even thinking about their career, but I know they are unwilling to work long hours. I also have a problem with IB that I feel it doesn't generate value to society. Maybe it isn't that bad as I think and I end up loving IB and want to stay there all my life, but I wonder if it isn't worth it. I am uncertain whether sacrificing my 20s for a few years in investment banking to gain experience and learning before pursuing an MBA is worth it.

I have been exploring alternative options, including corporate finance, asset management, and consulting. While I find corporate finance interesting, I am unsure whether starting in this area is the best choice for my long-term career in finance. I believe that starting in investment banking, building a career for a few years, and then pursuing an MBA before transitioning to the financial area of a real-world company may be a better path for me. While I enjoyed my experience as an intern in asset management, I am not enthusiastic about the first-year analyst jobs in this field. I am more interested in the work of portfolio managers, assistant portfolio managers, or traders, but I understand that these roles require more experience. Nonetheless, I believe that being an analyst in investment banking could benefit me if I decide to return to asset management in the future. Finally, I have also considered consulting, which I find engaging and value-generating. However, I am more passionate about finance than consulting, and I have focused my studies and career goals accordingly.

Thank you for your time and i appreciate any advice.
