Burnt out from EB

Analyst at EB (moelis/ghl/gugg) and didn’t do on cycle recruiting. Feel incredibly burned out and my bank / group in particular has a horrendous culture. Fellow analysts are cool but everyone is so depressed and tired it doesn’t even matter — no personality on day 2 day. Pretty done with horrible WLB and honestly couldn’t see myself going through the PE ringer anyways. Corp dev seems like a steep drop off in comp and despite being EB we don’t get many HH reach outs for interesting corp dev positions — where do I go from here?

Go to a mid market, work 60 hours a week and have similar comp
