EVPs, Partners, CEOs, etc do you find you have work/life balance? If yes, how do you do it or how do you make it work? If no, do you wish you had another role that’s less demanding or is the money worth not having a balance?

Been there and back. When you get to that point you are responsible for overseeing all accounts and keeping track of all the work (client CEOs love to call you and put you on the spot, so you better be up to speed on their work,) all pitches (which you will need to present at,) settling internal squabbles, reviewing and interviewing the hiring of executive level positions, talking to industry press, and judging shows both internal and external. And that’s not even all of it.

That’s all gonna happen inside a 40hour week? Not even close. 7days a week, 12 hours a day.

Nope.

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
