PubFin Exit Opps/Overall Advice

I understand this question has been asked a few times on this site but it's been over a decade since the last pubfin post I read that offered some guidance on this question and I am curious if the perception of PubFin in reference to transitioning has changed at all.Personally I am at a cross between 2 paths. A part of me wants to try to break into traditional IB and I understand coming from a PubFin background that requires I make up for the deficiency in modeling etc which I am willing to do just not sure how feasible that sort of lateral move is. There are a couple areas that I find myself gravitating towards first thing in the morning in terms of news before my own group. I also think there is a psychological role at play of pubfin 50/50 being viewed as black sheep of IB and having a chip on my shoulder.The other path stems from a bit of an existential realization and a desire to be able to have time to endeavor artistic pursuits, really experience life in the now and gain new skills outside of finance for personal fulfillment. I like the idea of the digital nomad visa that some countries are offering. I just don't know where the intersection between my relevant experience with municipals and the type of roles that offer such flexibility resides.Side note: I think about what it means to live a life worth living quite a bit and all I know from deliberating on it is that im questioning if spending my 20s to climb the ladder is worth it.. even from a "sacrifice now and enjoy later" perspective. I feel like that's what I had been doing all throughout high school and college…The importance of the age old advice to not compare yourself to others is not lost on me but I'll admit it's difficult when I hear about ppl in jobs getting paid the same as me (or twice in some cases) working 30-40 weeks that enables them to also have the ability to keep more control over what they do with their time.
