DCM vs Corp Banking, going back to banking from buyside

I did 3 years of m&a at a bb and then 2 years of growth equity at mm shop. I miss the structure of banking and liked the process oriented work, but hated the hours. Considering DCM or Corp banking. Is this a feasible jump? I am fine to redo associate years. Is DCM really better hours? Is corp banking a dead end?
