Other six figure paying jobs without long hours?

What are some of the other options? I know a lot of people go into banking or are intrigued by that career path because of the money — but are there other jobs with similar salaries at the junior level? (bonus for better wlb)

Also, do people ever pivot to these jobs after doing a stint in banking?
