To be honest, not interested in PE. Interested in lower hours even if means taking a pay cut but trying to gun total comp of 120-130k in NYC after 1.5 years in IB.
Any careers where I can have a life? Is it CD? Corp Banking? Consulting?
Please help :(

Asset management. Depends on the firm but I've heard stories of people within insurance firms that manage the firm's assets making 200k + and having a great work-life balance.
DAMN shoulda done tech half the hours same pay as IB
Probably more than 40-50, but asset management can have pretty lucrative comp with more reasonable hours. Comp can be pretty similar to IB/PE.
