Left IB for a really cushy corporate job and I’m starting to realize the allure of IB / PE is really the “cool factor” and the high pace rather than the money. Now making about 180k in corporate working like 20 hours a week so I’m happy with the pay but I feel like something is missing and I’m considering going back to IB (not for the money). Am I smoking crack

Some people miss the challenge. We work with some of the smartest people out there and highly competitive. I can see how you might of miss it.

True, true everyone is entitled to their opinion.

U r smoking crack along with an assortment of other illicit drugs. If you’re making 180k base you have got to be out of your mind to go back. Get a hobby, pick up a second job, find your passion n turn that into a business.

Honestly better yet go back to IB and refer me to your old job!!!

Additional Posts in Investment Banking - IBD

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
