I’m currently a senior in FDD and contemplating trying to move to MM IB and then eventually BB IB. My main goal is increasing my pay ceiling but not sure how long I’d last in BB IB if I get there since the hours are brutal. I guess at that point I could get a decently high paying industry job or maybe PE. Any advice? Is it worth a shot for the pay increase?

MM IB to PE is probably better

Yea don’t glamorize BB IB, if done correctly MM IB can also open the same doors.

You forgot to mention increasing your work hour ceiling. Life is short, money will come to you soon. Not worth the pay increase at the expense of your health and life. But you do you.

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.
