I did my three year stint as a BB analyst and two years working in PE. I am overworked and am exhausted.
Everyone is going off to BS now but I don't really want to blow so much money especially if the next jobs will be as demanding as the last two.
I am also tired of the excel modeling.
Any suggestions what my next move should be?
In addition, didn't this site used to have a link for what bonuses were? I can't seem to find that. Can anyone post the link?
Thanks!

Is PE that demanding? Isn't buyside supposed to be much better than sellside?
Double post
Corporate Developement, CorpFin, EQR, etc....there's a whole range of possibilities that are less demanding and would be a natural fit. Do yourself a favor though and DO get the MBA, especially if you can get into a really good school at this point. You'll thank yourself later.
I'll also add asset management on that list.
