Is top IB or PE paradise

I’m really interested in how people at top banks or private equity firms feel about their jobs. Are they stressed and wish they exit to something less demanding? Do they bask in prestige and high pay?

Is the standard target to top IB to top PE pipeline actually fulfilling or is it just a result of our competitive nature to be think that it’s the best. I wonder if selectivity means better
