Even after 4 years? Manager level maybe?

Current money or future potential money? At senior you don’t make that much. Plenty of other jobs out there. If it’s potential money, you’re never going to get there if you don’t like it. Maybe time to find something else

if you truly don't like it, then get out as fast as you can. The paycheck handcuffs will only get worse if you wait. there's nothing worse than making too much to quit.

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.
