Would you rather…

Would you rather work at a sweatshop LMM PE firm in Cleveland, Ohio with literally no work life balance for 20 years and make $60M, or drop everything you have worked for thus far in tour career, quit, your bank accounts are wiped off and have to work at an NGO that saves the whales and the penguins but you feel fulfilled every morning?
