Hi WSO,
Any bankers turn musicians? I always had this plan of front loading the 80h week in the first 10 years of one's career, then transition into a 45h week job (maybe still in the bank) so one can play music at night.
Did you do it?
Sincerely,
N

https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/i-banker-turne… Years ago there was a guy who straight up quit to be a fulltime musician. Not exactly the plan you're thinking of but could be a good read.
I work in corp dev (45-55 hrs per week), and I mix and master music too. That's not quite the same thing as being a musician, but it is an example that you can be in finance and music at the same time
