Leave CB for Pre MBA Associate role at Mezz Fund?

I have worked in Corp Banking for a little under a year and overall enjoy the hours and people I work with. However, I decided to throw my resume in the ring for a Pre MBA associate role at a well respected mezz fund and am currently in the last round of interviews. If offered, would the mezz fund experience be more valuable than Corp banking? Also what kind of comp/wlb should I be expecting?

I’m leaning this way too. Just hesitant because I like where I work/the people I work with now, and I make decent money for only working 40-50 hours a week. Any insight on mezz fund wlb or comp?
