Low hours roles with buy-side exits?

Hey guys, any recommendations on junior roles that have exits to buy-side? 50-70 hours preferably.

I have a chronic disease that requires around 2-3 years of steady and slow treatment, so I can't really do IB because 80-100 hours and some sleepless nights will make it intolerable to the point that I may exacerbate some symptoms. I can stand an intense workload maybe for 1 or 2 weeks, but more than that and I'll crash. 

My end goal would be PE/PC, and IB is a pre-requisite for this, I know, but need to adjust my plans for the next 2 years to something more manageable hours-wise. Worst case can do an MBA afterward, but would prefer to avoid it.

Recommendations?
