Anyone wish they went into finance?

I'm starting at a niche consulting firm after my T15 MBA . Can't help but feel like the financial ceiling for finance folks is much higher than consultants.

How do you all feel about this. Comp is important for me. Disregarding IB , I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake not pursuing things like CRE (development in particular).

At this point, it feels like I have to get lucky by joining a promising pre- IPO /acquisition start up to make real money.
