I did (IB at GS). I dislike hedge funds for their fee structures and poor performance and think the PE space has gotten too crowded. I'm happy where I am and am well paid.

Yes but that's as high as I want right now. Any higher and I won't see my kids and can't take a vacation without staring at a laptop.

Assoc 2, started as analyst but at a different firm. I'm planning to stay at current firm to make VP. I like what I am doing (primarily sell-side M&A), I really like the MD I work with, the industry I'm focused on, and I think I'll be successful in this career. Plus the pay doesn't hurt.

The issue is time and family. I want to see my wife, I want to see my kids, and I am sick of Christmas being ruined every year.

I am A1 in IBD. Can't see myself being a VP though. I hear a ton of their comp after 200k becomes stock. And they don't vest for 3 years or something like that. That's painful in my opinion

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
