A harsh piece of advice, you sound too idealistic and a pick too picky. Work is work and sometimes you just need to suck it up. You can't have the best of everything. High pay, meaningful work and worklife Bal/low stress. Wake up to harsh reality. Anyways, in such a climate, jobs are being lost so it is difficult to move. Appreciate your current role

Appreciate your advice. Anyway, RM is back office in my place since i am placed in a reporting role, ie not much chance to see what the FO is really doing.
Say if I stick with RM line for 2 to 3 years, wouldn't it be really difficult for me to move into investment in the future? I am afraid that by that time, I am too old to start all over again with lower pay. And also, my RM role wouldn't give me that much transferable skills.
