1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I seek the three things in the title from a career, but I will define it so that there is no confusion.
Money - at PQE5, I should be earning at least 2Lakhs/month
Life - Weekends off (most of the time), don't mind working till 9-10PM during the week.
Intellectual stimulation - diverse work, not mindlessly repetitive.
I understand that we can't get all 3 of these, but if one considers law firms, in-house and litigation as the three career options.
Where can I maximise the above three? Please be specific.
PS: For litigation, I'd forego all for Intellectual Stimulation, given that I will earn sustenance by the time I am 30-31.
Reels = money + weekends + mind boggling trends to create content on
Weekends off - Nope
Intellectual stimulation - lul
in-house
4L/ month
weekends off
diverse work but not very intellectual
Money- A lot
Weekends and weekdays are all off
Intellectual stimulation- work is not diverse but the subject matter is always different. Very intellectual conversations with clients
