BarCap London vs Raymond James London lifestyle?

Hi all,

Recently been given an offer for IBD SA at BarCap. I've been given the same for Raymond James although obviously their European focus is pretty much entirely M&A, at least as far as London is concerned.

My question at its heart is whether, particularly as I DON'T have one eye on the door and would like to develop a career in this industry (famous last words?), is it crazy to suggest that MM M&A at Raymond James will provide some semblance of a life where BarCap won't? I'm super lucky to have these offers, I recognise that. But I also want something of a life in my 20s, and to have at least some time to spend with my girlfriend/family/friends.

So if you were me, thinking long term about the sustainability of the IBD lifestyle, is there a chance RJ would be more manageable?

Thank you, and am hoping this isn't such a stupid question.
