Looking for Career Advice

Currently interning at an IB coverage group at a MM firm in the Midwest. After observing how stressed and overworked the bankers are, I’m really reconsidering my career path. Thinking that IB isn’t the right fit for me and looking for options with a good WLB that pay in the $80k-$100k range. Also looking to move to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area to be closer to family. Currently a 4.0 student at a non-target. Interested in RE and credit shops but open to any ideas.
