PE Offer vs. Current buyside Role - Thoughts Appreciated

All,

Debating between switching over to a distressed PE firm based in CT vs sticking at my current buyside role (principal investments group at a bank based in Manhattan). The pay for the first 2 years will be better than my current role and it seems like interesting work but the commute is miserable. The lifestyle there is a 9-8 kind of lifestyle but my lifestyle now is a 10-9 (can be later and include weekends if on a live deal) but I typically take hour long lunch/dinner breaks and work out for a few hours in the middle of the day.

Is the tradeoff for pay/career progression worth giving up the amazing lifestyle i have now and adding on a miserable commute? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
