Leaving IB for Enterprise Sales

What are monkeys thoughts on leaving IB for software sales at a Microsoft / Amazon / Salesforce?

Continue to work with high profile companies, make a good salary and bonus, and don’t work 100 hr weeks.

Top performers can out earn IB on a regular basis. And there’s flexibility in location and lower cost cities.

Thoughts?
