~$150K/yr as an Associate working 40-50 hours a week

Should I stay? Is comp good for my hours? I am really debating whether I should network my way into IB (as an Analyst) for the sake of IB and maybe higher comp.

I am currently earning ~$150K a year (full base no bonus because my firm is stupid) which translates to ~approx $7.2K a month (bi-weekly pay)
