Sick of IB - where do I go next?
Context: I work in a European Bank well known in the cap markets space, but pretty sucky in M&A, though still revenue generating. I spent my Analyst years in ECM before spending the last 8 months in a sector team focusing on M&A deals. These long hours are quickly getting old and I have no idea what...

How bad is working hard in your 20's
Is working hard in your early to mid 20's really that bad? I feel like if you work 23-25 in IB, then transfer to PE or HF, you're now working 60-80 hours versus 80-100, you have a bit more of a life and better pay. Then by 30 you're making 500-1m, and you can exit to something around 50 hours a...

Looking for opinions on the exit opportunities available to associates at both these shops. My thinking is that Bernstein has better exits to AM / HFs . Would Morgan Stanley give you a better shot at a PE exit? (I understand a ER -> PE move is rare in general)

Folks, I am currently exploring exit opps from my current role at what I'll call a boutique regional IB .
