Middle Market IB - Post Associate exits

Weighing between MM IB vs T2 consulting full time. Obviously the exits and hours are super different but I’m trying to see if the hours in MM IB are worth the exit opps. I’ve been putting in 80+ hours / week this summer and I know it’s going to be more as a full time. I don’t see myself being a career banker so would love to understand where people end up after 2 years in MM IB
