I imagine the salary is lower than in IB. Working IB hours with sub-IB compensation = ultimate loser.

Best work life balance is inheriting $20m+ from your dad, creating a few LLCs, hiring a property manager and leasing broker and checking in with them every week or two to see how your portfolio is doing.
It sort of depends on your goals. Do you like working? Would you continue to work if you had enough to retire?
I'll preface this with the caveat that I love what I'm doing, so I don't view my job as a necessary evil that I need to do in order to live my real life on the weekends. I'm a developer with a small team in the DC area, and I would say that development has the best work/life balance I've found in my career. In the past I did consulting, sales, design, and research in various markets.
The thing that I like most about development is that you are essentially your own boss starting at the DM level (yeah, yeah, I know that everyone has a boss, but at least in my shop no one is supervising you in your day-to-day activities). I honestly couldn't tell you how many hours I work each week. It's probably a lot of hours, but I can work from home, from a construction site, from a coffee shop... and as long as the work gets done everyone is happy. Doesn't even feel like work half the time when you can 1) manage your own schedule/work, and 2) build things in real life instead of sitting in front of a computer.
