$210k TC as a senior associate/junior VP in niche product team at lower BB (NYC) - should i quit?

Chill hours ~55h a week with very minimal weekend work. Great WLB to spend time with the kids but feel like I am getting squeezed on comp

Moved over from a different industry in case that matters.

Curious to get opinions; understand the lateral market at VP level can be very challenging.
