IBD is the top career now (post normal tax on carry)?

Post the bill being passed taxing carry as normal income, this reduces PE / HF relative appeal over IBD esp from a comp perspective. 

What are people's thoughts on this - will IBD be the most lucrative career now?

Only going to raise $14 billion in tax revenue over a decade? Also thought this bill tried to extend holding period from 3 to 5 years to realize lower tax rate? Interested to see how Sinema feels on this
