Again, if anyone could touch on any of these topics or provide some general insight on your position it would be much appreciated.

My brother works on the West coast in Inst. Sales, in the office at 5, home around 1-3. Life>work. I don't know the exact $ but he is very comfortable. Not sure of anything else, but I can ask him for you.

Echo this. A good family friend growing up does rates sales at a large MM in SF. He lives in the suburbs and wakes up at 330 on weekdays, leaves around 430 for the city. Leaves the office everyday around 215. He was also my basketball coach for a couple of years and never missed a practice or game. Great family man. He's an MD, so naturally his compensation is quite high.
