Excluding IB / PE, in what other jobs can you have a good wlb and still make good money? I’m thinking about my future exits and how I can maximise these from a salary perspective, and all I can think of is corp dev / internal M&A. What others exits have you considered?

Corporate development>>BU CFO sounds like what you’re going for. Integration also isn’t bad.

FDD for sure

Integration is always the chillest practice. Projects are longer and the work is very relationship-heavy. The usual complaint is that it’s not very challenging/interesting because there’s little to no analysis. So depends on what you’re prioritizing. Disclaimer: it can get hectic on the pre close side bur there are plenty of first 100 days projects on the post close side.

What is considered good WLB? 40-50 hours?

I’m UK based and done 60 hours a week before and tbh, did not enjoy that all. Also regular chasers from PE houses at 2/3 am, keeping in mind that we had call past 1 am. So def don’t see that as a lifestyle preference. Would say 40-50 is spot on
