You can always go back. I switched as a first year senior, loved it (and the pay), and never wanted to go back. It’s easiest to switch now at your level. If you can give details on city or current firm someone here may be able to help you. I am trying to find internal hires in our compliance group to poach all the time. Way more fun than putting numbers on a form ;)
If you’re good, you’ll always be able to make M wherever you go, but you can’t always go back and be junior enough to try M&A tax.
As you’ve pointed out correctly, hours can be a bit erratic but overall I work less and have less stress in M&A than compliance.
Cool - hopefully some Texas based managers see this and can help you out. You’ve got the ideal background imo.
Yes do it, try to do a rotation at current firm. Your MST will help you out.
Do it. January would be a good time to start.
