Currently in MM PE and struggling with the fact the job is still 24/7 (nothing changed from IBD). My hobbies involve hunting / fishing / traveling in a way that I desire weekends where I can truly go offline without cell service or internet (at least 2x per month - I understand every job has projects that may involve some weekend work). Does this exist in high finance or am I destined to leave the industry?

I work in ER and weekends are relatively "offline" outside of earnings season. Would suggest a family office, pension fund, endowment, Corporate Banking, or Corp Dev. Idk if you consider any of those to be "high" finance though.
I’d echo BobTheBaker. I’m at a long only, and while people often work on the weekends, there is zero expectation to be available.
Hit the nail on some internal corp strat / dev roles depending on if there's major acquisitions / similar things going on from the people I am speaking with
IB - hell no. I'm just an MM intern and I've worked the past 18 days straight.
