Career Move

Struggling to decide what to do next career wise:

> I'm a 3rd-year M&A analyst at a BB in London, likely up for promotion in ~9 months, but growing tired of the long hours. I had planned on PE, but am now considering hedge funds or S&T. I’ve completed the CFA—any advice on next steps?

I worry I’ll start another job and just tire of another corporate environment
