Data center development

Currently mid-level in IB and considering making the jump to a data center dev role at a new-ish but sizable platform.

A few questions for people in the industry:

- How attractive is data center development as a long-term career given all the legislative pushback?
- What does comp generally look like?
- How is the lifestyle overall? I’d presume it’s arguably better than IB but what do the hours look like in reality?
- What do the exits look like if all goes wrong?

Appreciate any insight from people currently working in the space.
