Should I still push the envelope in IB? - non target

I did not go to a target school... AT ALL the most untargeted of schools..... sec... but finessed my way into working at GS as a controller in PE funds (basically doing all the accounting sh*t for fund honestly interesting) went to Vanderbilt to get my MSF and now am currently in ER and M&A advisory. 

I wanted to do IB last year, but you all know how the job market was around this time last year. I am scared to leave my current role I get paid well and have good hours, but I fear I will never be able to pivot into the IB/PE world.  I want to grind out the two years but at the same time I wonder if it is worth it. I want to move to New York I have some good connections with some middle tier banks. I honestly feel like a piece of shit, and I am not learning as much as should be. Also holding up PWM as a second option. 

Do you think this move is possible? Should I keep at IB train or just settle with a high paying good hour job?
