I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

Work is more interesting, pay is also way more than double. Also not in a client role

So then don’t do it. It’s not for everyone.

Sounds like it’s just not for you.

I’d much rather have an intellectually stimulating job with higher pay and higher impact than a job where I’m working fewer hours.
