[quote=Anonymous]OP -- you're in PE, so you know exactly how finance is -- esp IB and PE. Do you honestly believe it'll be a better or easier life in London? London finance hours aren't better than NYC. So you'd still be slogging away at work and on top of that enduring a longer commute than what you have in DC (I'm willing to bet) to come home to a much smaller/older apartment than you're used to -- as I bet you have a pretty nice house in Bethesda or someplace -- and you'll find that your money doesn't go nearly as far in London as it does in DC or even NYC. Sure London seems charming at first -- but wouldn't it get really old really quick?

If you're honestly burnt out and just need a change, why not consider someplace in the U.S. where you could get a true lifestyle change? If you have great credentials and solid PE experience, what's stopping you from exploring the lesser known PE shops that pop up around the country? Getting in with the only PE shop in Malibu or Scottsdale or Portland will do more for your day to day quality of life than going to London to live the same -- but harder -- existence that you have now. Is your DW totally averse to leaving DC/her family? Or would she consider a move to another city but just not another country?[/quote]
