Are the any jobs where you can make big money and still have a life?
Just curious about this, trying to decide what career path to take. I want to hear others thoughts on this.

Pretty important to know what you consider as good money before going further
Say 300k+ under 30?
Pretty much only options I can think of are 1) tech 2) certain sales jobs if you’re killing it and 3) getting lucky with a high paying FO family office job.
300k+ under 30 is a good idea of big money, 500k+ over 30
As others have said the answer depends on your view of what good WLB is and how much is "big" money. In general, the below tend to have better WLB and good comp:
Sellside
Buyside
Corporate
The worst jobs for WLB are IB (in general), Buyout PE, and Infra PE
reasons for infra PE specifically having bad WLB? also curious why you split out "buyout" PE — this is just PE, no?
Given the risk profile of Infra assets the modeling is a lot more granular and important to the process vs LBO PE (or regular PE as most think of it), so this can lead to higher hours in general (i.e. on par with buyout PE).
I said "Buyout" PE because there are different strategies in PE and I was being specific. Yes, when people say PE they generally think LBOs, but there is also Infra, REPE, Growth Equity, etc.
