Oh.
Anything that gets you going.
Good work/life balance, stable, and pays well: pick two. You need to make tradeoffs. To give an example, investment banking has pay and decent stability (somewhat worse than non finance jobs but pretty decent) but has terrible work/life balance. Trading has pay and decent work life balance (again somewhat worse than non finance jobs but decent, 60 hours a week is typical). corporate finance and jobs at normal companies has stability and work life balance but doesnt pay as well. Honestly though the three most important things are where passion (you need to be happy with your job), talent (you need to be good at your job), and opportunity (your job needs to have good opportunity which is true with most jobs in finance). If you have those things the other things won't matter as much, but part of why pay is better in finance is because work/life balance and stability is worse.
