Career Path

I will have the opportunity to join a family business and takeover the operation after a couple years post graduation. In this role I would make $1-2M. Is it valid to think IB or high stress finance is just not worth the grind? Technically, I guess I would learn more and maybe reach a higher level of professionalism. At the same time, I could get good experience in a corp finance role, work 40 hours a week, and enjoy life.
