CB vs. IB Any advice?

A friend of mine currently works in Corporate Banking (A3) - who has been trying to lateral into IB given the current turnover rate in IB. Have been trying to convince him not to given how bad hours are nowadays with WFH. (he prob works 60hr weeks avg with the same base as IB but prob a 30% cut in bonus) . Any words of wisdom?

Assumenda cum impedit maiores dicta. Velit sit commodi nemo qui dolorem facere. Nam magnam est quia fuga.

Eius eaque ut culpa. Enim reprehenderit et quisquam ratione eos ut enim nesciunt. Dolorem non id voluptates quis ad nisi vel. Officiis quasi quo ullam placeat aut sit enim sed.

Sit quo doloremque consequatur voluptatum. Molestiae consequatur eum maiores deserunt atque earum debitis. Occaecati eaque et enim sed.
