Investment team at a tier 1 fund (the level just below MF).

Left for half the salary at small company for the promise of WLB

Regret doing it. Should have stuck it out!!

Been there done that. While the clamour of WLB makes sense eventually the boredom and monotonous feelings start to make you fed that you made a wiring decision. I eventually left such a role within 8 months as I couldn’t bear the thought of going to work and not doing anything.
