How much do you get paid per hour? Consulting vs Finance (ib etc)

A group of guys that I know were trying to have a debate about what wins in pay per hours ib vs management consulting. We were debating MBB + T2 vs BB + EB. The reason it's not simple is because hours feel significantly worse after 40 and 60 a week. So we were trying to debate stress + hours + higher tax bracket for both. We decided that MBB + T2 wins but I was wondering if yall have another view + evidence. 

This debate was the first two years btw but I also think MBB wins until 5 yrs.
