Has anyone exited from FDD to another high paying job roles?

Other than IB, what others job areas that one could ideally look to seek? MBB/consulting, PM For tech industry, in-house, or any others?

I feel like I’m working insane hours already with peanuts of a pay. What kind of job would you say is the best bang for buck if comparing per hour pay given that it’s relatively attainable exit from fdd

FDD to MBB is tough based on what I’ve seen. Corporate strategy / M&A feels like the dream job to stay in M&A with better WLB but do not have first hand experience myself.

Why do you say corporate strategy feels like the dream? Is it higher pay and better work balance than FDD?

I did PE back in the day for several years associate to vp. Came back to B4 as a partner seeking combo of WLB (on a relative basis), interesting work, and working in a fun, dynamic environment (m&a). It’s a very non standard track but does happen and it’s entirely based on the network you create when you are in FDD as an associate.

When people say PE, indicating super high pay and hours, what kind of titles/roles are those?

Do they pay higher than IB and they only hire from IB?
