What is the general consensus on doing IB type work at a Big 4 vs at a BB or EB? I know the comp is less, but does the WLB justify this? I currently have an M&A offer at a big 4 company and was wondering if I should keep on recruiting for IB, or if I should call it there. Some insight would be great.
