Why do so many bankers quit after they become high level managers?

I know of 3 cases where they work like dogs and then less than 3 years after reaching the pinnacle, they quit. I was also watching a YouTube video and a former banker quit her job in her 30s and went back to school to get a B. sc. and then M. sc. and then PhD in social sciences. She said she wanted to take more care of her emotional benefits and not just have the financial benefits of a high paying job.

I guess it's cause of too much stress at work.

Banking at high levels can be grueling, with immense pressure and long hours that strain work-life balance. Many high-level bankers may reach a point where personal fulfillment becomes more important than financial rewards. The stress and demands can lead to burnout, prompting individuals to reconsider their priorities. Seeking a more meaningful and emotionally rewarding career, like the former banker you mentioned, can offer a path to personal growth and happiness. Pursuing further education or a career change can provide the opportunity to explore different interests and align professional life with personal values.
