What is the difference in WLB between a Product Manager or Strategy Role at FAANG and a post-MBA role in MBB? I don’t see myself do an MBA and then coming back to the usual 60-70 hours a week

I work 10-20% fewer hours in a strategy role vs when I was at MBB. I think PMs on average work more though

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
