Depends upon your priorities. You don't explain why you need to max out short-term cash. Generally doing anything just because it makes more money is a Faustian deal of the first order. Of course, there are some people who are in banking because they truly believe in some aspect of it. Then there are others who get trapped by the lavish lifestyle and find it increasingly hard to leave. Have you considered taking a careful look around you and find a hair on fire problem that you could solve and enjoy doing so? Taking a longer term view, where you balance all aspects of your life tends to be a more satisfying approach.
