I currently do Corp Dev and it has a pretty solid WLB. There are still weeks where you'll get crushed on live deals and work banking esk hours but for the most part you really work anywhere from 30-50 hours. Some weeks, especially with wfh, even less. Pay is obviously the biggest draw back. My company doesn't bonus until you reach the manager level so base is all you get. With that being said I would say my base is inline with bankers at the associate level.
Retirement
Sugan dese nuts
I hear unemployment has a great WLB, heavily skewed towards the life part.
All of the mentioned exit ops in this thread are directly finance related. That's cool and all but I would love to hear about exit ops that are outside the box.What about the Treasury Department or the Department of State? What about the NSA? Or product management in your respective sector?
A two year analyst stint leaves you with three very marketable attributes 1) Proof that you can work very hard and efficiently 2) That you can perform excellently detailed analysis 3) You can confidently present information to people/connect with people and 4) Your adaptable and a quick learner.
Any analyst leaving their analyst stint should be able to sell themselves well to so many different organizations.
Also drug tests
Good thing "attention to detail" isn't one of the items you listed
Marrying rich
Transition into roles at large consumer drug funds. I think mega-funds like (Sinaloa, Jalisco New Generation, and Gulf) are definitely harder to get into. They largely want MBAs and target the usual M7. Def better WLB and you get paid more.
