I can’t offer any specific questions but I can suggest a mindset: how IT’s strategy aligns with and supports the overall Business’ strategy. It sounds like an awesome opportunity!

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

Am I wrong to be pissed off about this?

I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
